What is recorded here

Grave Yd is a D-shaped graveyard in County Cork, Ireland, with a straight side measuring about sixty metres and a western projection reaching forty-five metres. It sits inside a possible early ecclesiastical enclosure, eighty metres north of a road, with a broken conglomerate millstone lying just outside its southern gate. The parish church of Kilphelan once occupied the area south of the graveyard’s centre, suggesting this was a lived religious landscape rather than a forgotten marker. Death, worship and daily labour likely shared the same ground, binding the community across generations.
