What is recorded here

West Cork church and graveyard wear a rectangular stone skin, with eighteenth-century slabs buried beneath soil and silence. The chapel itself has vanished, leaving only the boundary and the dead to mark where worship stood. What remains is a hole shaped like a building, waiting for someone to remember its rooms.

Area enclosed by rectangular stone wall of graveyard (CO096-00802-) and C of I church (CO096-00801-) at W end. No present evidence of chapel; graves cover total area to E, N and S of church. Grave slabs date from 18th century. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
