Vault

Tomb, unclassified

What is recorded here

Dan O'Sullivan died in January 1787, and his vault still overlaps the western wall of the County Cork church. The stones mark a private death inside a public house of worship, forcing the living to share breath and space with the dead. That is why the chamber feels crowded even when empty.
Partially overlying W wall of church (CO126-012005-) stone-built vault bearing inscription "THIS TOMB WAS ERECTED FOR DAN O'SULLIVAN WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE JAN ? 1787". Compiled by: Archaeological Survey Unit, UCC. Date of upload: 20 December 2011

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