What is recorded here

Grave Yard holds Imphrick parish church ruins and buried names beside a Cork road, with stones dating from 1757 to at least 1900s memory. Grass and forgetting have done much of the keeping: Holmes may still sit under the church east end, while newer graves wait near the eastern entrance. The dead are not far from traffic or pasture, only under a low bank and a roof of leaves.

In pasture, c. 100m N of road. Subrectangular graveyard (c. 40m E-W; c. 30m N-S), enclosed by low earthen bank. Ruin of parish church of Imphrick (14424) in NW corner. Much of graveyard densely overgrown; earliest headstone noted, inside N wall of church, dated 1783; recent burial near entrance to E. Grove White (1905-25, vol. 3, 186) noted monument to Holmes, dated 1757- may be overgrown vault at E end of church. Burials dated 1762 and 1790 have also been recorded (Grove White 1913-16, 241). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
