What is recorded here

Grave Yard is an old graveyard in County Cork, Ireland, set on an east-facing slope above Inchydoney island. A stone wall still marks the boundary, while low stones and one family vault from the nineteenth century stand beside the church ruins at the eastern end. The place may have served nearby lives for generations before records named them, holding births, deaths and ordinary faith in soil rather than ink.

In pasture, on E-facing slope overlooking E end of Inchydoney island. Rectangular area enclosed by stone wall. Many low uninscribed stones; two headstones and family vault dating to 19th century. Ruins of church (CO135-104004-) at E end. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
