What is recorded here

Kilhassen Burial Gd (Disused) is a rectangular grave yard on a south-facing slope in County Cork, enclosed by a 1.7m earthen bank and marked on the 1842 OS map as Kilsassanagh Grave Yard. It sits beside a Roman Catholic church at its west end, with overgrown ground and many grave markers still visible inside the bank. The place may have served as a quiet local burial site for generations before falling out of use, its boundary preserved more by memory and soil than by active care.
