What is recorded here

Grave Yd occupies a gentle south-facing slope inside an early ecclesiastical enclosure, marking a continuous sacred landscape in County Cork. Its iron railing holds a rectangular patch of pasture where fragmentary church walls still emerge beneath grass and memory. Stones from the 1830s and later punctuate the overgrown ground, suggesting that burial, prayer and daily life continued long after the first building fell silent.

Partially overgrown but still in occasional use. Earliest headstone noted dates to 1830s. Contains fragmentary remains of church (CO123-022003-).
