What is recorded here

Grave Yd in County Cork is a living graveyard where the ruined Kilmocomogne church still stands among stones marked from the 1800s. A hidden passage appeared during work in the 1960s, and a holy well beside it suggests the place has long served more than burial. The dead, the divine and human curiosity may all still move through its narrow stone boundaries.

Rectangular area enclosed by stone wall. Earliest noted headstone dates to 1800s. Modern extension to W; Man-made underground passage (CO105-013001-) discovered here in 1960s. Holy well (CO105-013004-) to S. Still in use. Ruins of Kilmocomogne church (CO105-013003-) in centre. Still in use. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
