What is recorded here

Ballynora is a graveyard without a grave in sight. The famine starved thousands and this soil swallowed some of them, but a bungalow now sits where the church and crosses should stand. Forgetting is not the same as peace. It is a chamber pot emptied into the sea, pretending the filth never existed.

According to local information, this is the site of a graveyard. There are no visible remains of the graveyard or its associated church (CO085-136----) and a bungalow has been built in the immediate vicinity. Also according to local information, famine victims were buried here during the 19th century. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
