What is recorded here
West Cork: A disused graveyard holds a rectangular pasture enclosure, its low earthen bank surrounding a flat space now scattered with field stones. No gravemarkers remain, and the church that likely gave the place its purpose has vanished without a visible trace. The land has become a quiet dump for stone and memory, preserving the shape of burial while losing the names that once filled it.
In pasture, rectangular enclosure (34m N-S; 28m E-W) defined by low, earthen bank (H 0.5m). Flat interior used as dump for field stones; no gravemarkers. Church (site of) marked on OS 6-inch map (1944); no visible trace.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
