What is recorded here

Grave Yd is a small rectangular graveyard on the west side of a road in County Cork, Ireland, where fragmentary ruins of the parish church of Ardnageehy still mark its north-western edge. It has served the area since at least the 1770s, keeping a quiet continuity through changes in worship, ownership and memory. People may have buried relatives there, prayed at its church or simply passed beside it, carrying ordinary lives into a place now reduced to grass, stones and suggestion.

On W side of road; roughly rectangular graveyard (c. 40m N-S; c. 50m E-W), in occasional use; few gravemarkers, earliest noted date to 1770s. Fragmentary ruins of parish church of Ardnageehy (CO053-00202-) just NW 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.
