What is recorded here
Grave Yard stands where the Clashduff and Adrigole rivers meet, looking south across Bantry Bay. A broken chest tomb and an ogham stone mark the old edge, while a modern cross rises in the northern extension. The bulláun stone waits east of the bank, preserving the local belief that rubbing it eased pain. Death, memory and healing still circle this small rectangular field.

Roughly rectangular area enclosed by stone-faced earthen bank; earliest headstone noted dates to 1880s; one broken chest tomb. Modern extension to N with large modern cross.
