What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Cork, Ireland holds a rectangular stone-walled chamber where the ruined Liscleary parish church still stands beside burials reaching back to 1796. Grass and forgotten markers crowd the space, yet the graveyard remains active, giving the place a tense life rather than abandoned decay. People may have kept returning long after the church collapsed, trusting the old ground more than any new building.

On S side of road; rectangular graveyard (c. 35m E-W; 45m N-S), bounded by stone wall, road to N. Heavily overgrown but in use. Earliest noted headstone dates from 1796. Ruins of Liscleary parish church (CO086-04202-) just to S of centre. 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.
