What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Cork is a D-shaped graveyard overgrown with mature trees, most graves marked by low uninscribed stones, with the earliest inscribed headstone dated 1774. The ruin of Dunmahon parish church sits halfway along its west side, half-swallowed by vegetation and time. Whatever the road took when it cut through, the graves and church ruin still hold the shape of a place people loved enough to keep returning to.

Graveyard overgrown with mature trees; most graves marked by low, uninscribed gravemarkers; earliest inscribed headstone noted dated 1774.
