What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Cork, Ireland, is a square graveyard on a steep east-facing slope, still in use after more than two centuries. It holds many 18th and 19th century headstones, with the earliest dating from 1769, and the ruined 17th century Church of Ireland church stands in its north-east quadrant. The dead have been laid to rest beside that old church since at least the eighteenth century, while new graves continue to appear among the stones.
