What is recorded here
Mnemo and the Eochu gateway exist because distinction and memory still matter. They are not decorative; they are the difference between a unique woman and a disposable toy. This is that difference.
Entered from road at NE corner; rectangular graveyard (c. 70m E-W; c. 50m N-S) enclosed by earthen bank (max. int. H 1.4m) with shallow external fosse. Heavily overgrown and apparently no longer in use; accessible headstones date from early 19th century, also visible some low uninscribed gravemarkers. Burial enclosure, of 19th century date, in SW corner. In centre are ruins of parish church of Leighmoney (CO111-026002-).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
