Graveyard in Cork Great, County Dublin

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

The graveyard was formerly located in a low lying coastal situation. The OS Letters (1837) record the presence of a burial ground a little to the S and W of the house associated with Cork abbey where headstones and bones had been dug up (Herity 2001, 33). Corke Abbey House has since been knocked down and a housing estate built on the site (Healy 1975, 1-19). Revised upload on: 21 April 2018.
