What is recorded here

Knockacappul Burial Ground is a stone-walled graveyard in County Kerry where inscribed headstones span 1833 to the early 20th century. It sits in undulating pasture with views toward Macgillycuddy's Reeks, holding overgrown mounds and the buried site of a church. The road skirting its north and east edges suggests travellers have long passed this quiet place, perhaps glancing at the stones or avoiding them altogether.

In undulating pasture, with views SW to Macgillycuddy's Reeks. A roughly square graveyard (c. 40m N-S; c. 40m E-W) enclosed by a stone wall, with a road skirting the N and E sides. Inscribed headstones date from 1833 to the early 20th century; uninscribed grave-markers were noted near the outer limits at E, S and W. Overgrown mounds occur at E and at W. The site of a church (KE068-003001-) is within the graveyard. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.
