What is recorded here

Grave Yard (Disused) is a sub-circular patch of level pasture in County Cork, Ireland, slightly raised behind a one-metre stone edge and choked with rhododendrons. Power (1917) identified the buried seana teampuilín beneath the green, measuring forty-eight feet by twenty-one feet of internal space, while local information claims lower wall courses still stand though no markers show. The fence cuts the east edge like a forgotten decision, leaving the west open to rain, wind and the quiet patience of roots.

In level pasture, road 50m to NW; sub-circular area (c. 45m ENE-WSW; c. 50m NNW-SSE) slightly raised above surrounding land and defined by stone-faced vertical edge (H 1m); to E truncated by N-S field fence. Interior densely overgrown with rhododendrons, access not gained. According to Power (1917, 17), contains ruins of 'seana teampuilín' (church marked on all eds OS 6-inch map) (CO064-033002-); he notes that 'the foundations of the building are fairly traceable....some forty-eight feet by twenty-one feet internally' (ibid., 18). According to local information, lower courses of church wall still survive and no gravemarkers visible. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
