What is recorded here
Grave Yd in County Cork holds a subrectangular stone-walled yard where headstones from the early 19th century to the present day cluster along the southeast side. A Church of Ireland church stands within the grounds on the site of an earlier building, suggesting this was a continuous place of worship and burial. The concentration of markers on one side may reflect changing burial customs or simply the direction people preferred when laying out the dead.
Subrectangular area enclosed by stone wall; headstones throughout dating from early 19th century to present day; gravemarkers concentrated on SE side. C of I church (CO122-098002-) in yard on site of earlier church (CO122-105---).
