What is recorded here
Graveyard in Ballyclogh (fermoy By.) holds small hummocks west of the church, possibly marking burials that Power missed in 1932. They reappeared in memory and measurement by 2008, suggesting the ground kept what earlier observation released. The church stands beside a hidden line of deaths, waiting for patience rather than force.
Though Power (1932, 76) found '...no sign of interments…' in or around Ballyclogh Church (vol. 4, no. 14390), small hummocks, possibly representing burials, were noted for a distance of c. 4m to the W of the church in 2008 (pers. comm. Catryn Power).
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
