What is recorded here

Grave Yd. is a sub-rectangular graveyard in County Cork, Ireland, holding the remains of a 17th century church at its centre. Headstones and chest tombs stretch from the late 18th century to the present day, while a western extension contains an early 20th century church and newer gravestones.
