What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Cork holds the ruined C of I parish church of Inchigeelagh and headstones stretching from the late 18th century to today. Its stone wall and northern gate have watched the River Lee since 1867, while the nearby roofless Glebe House waits beside the graves like a forgotten keeper. The place does not hide its age; it lays bare the continuity of local life, faith and loss along the riverbank.

Close to N bank of River Lee, bounded by road to N; roughly rectangular graveyard (c. 70m SW-NE; c. 40m SE-NW) enclosed by stone wall, with gate to N, built in 1867 (Cole 1903, 56); inscribed headstones date from late 18th century to present day. At centre, ruins of C of I parish church of Inchigeelagh (CO081-015002-). Glebe House, c. 200m NNE of graveyard now a roofless 2-storey ruin; this was built in 1859 to replace earlier Glebe House located on E side of graveyard, built in 1740s (Brady ibid., 121-2).
