What is recorded here
Graveyard in Moig East Glebe is a nineteenth-century burial ground in County Limerick, Ireland. A Church of Ireland church stands in its centre, and Westropp once claimed the building occupied the lost medieval site of Kilcornan, though no evidence supports that claim. The nearby graveyard to the southwest is the more likely home of the old church, leaving the central stones as a newer layer above forgotten lives.
19th century Church of Ireland church (LI011-022---) stands in centre of graveyard which appears to be 19th century in date. Westropp (1904-5) suggested that the present C of I church was built on the site of the medieval church of Kilcornan but there is no evidence to support this suggestion. Graveyard (LI011-019----) 175m to SW more likely location for the medieval church and graveyard of Kilcornan.
