What is recorded here
Modern rectangular graveyard on the west side of the R.C. Church in Ballynora, County Cork. It belongs to the living town and the dead town at once, a place where people still walk to remember others. The stones mark what was lost, but the yard itself remains a room for love, grief and return.
This modern graveyard is referred to in the 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork - vol. 2 East and South Cork' (1994, 302) under the entry (no. 5915) for a R.C. Church (CO085-038002-). The reference in the entry reads as follows: 'Modern rectangular graveyard on W side.'
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
