What is recorded here

The poorly preserved remains of this parish church [KE079-037001-] are located in an approximately wedge-shaped, disused graveyard in Cahersiveen town. Tidying of the graveyard (KE079-037003-) in recent decades has resulted in the removal of two areas of grave-markers, which were located in its SW and N sectors. These slabs now pave an area on the S side of the Medieval church (local information). One of them (KE079-037004-), measuring 1.02m x .35m x .09m thick, has an outline Latin cross on its present upper surface. See attached drawing of cross-slab taken from O'Sullivan and Sheehan 1996, Fig. 226 To see a 3D model of this cross-slab, visit; https://skfb.ly/owWMC The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 1088. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 31 July 2013
