- CO112-042001 Graveyard
Description
On E side of Oyster Haven, to N of road; sub-rectangular graveyard (c. 40m E-W; c. 20m N-S) enclosed by stone wall to S, elsewhere by earthen bank. Inscribed plaque on gate pillar reads 'Revdus. Renaldus / Hurly hoc /Presidium / mortuorum / fieri fecit / Anno Domini / 1783' (Brunicardi 1913,45; Henchion 1987, 113; see also CO112-01301- & CO112-00501-). In occasional use; Henchion (ibid, 113-7) records only 9 inscribed headstones, the earliest dated 1763; many low uninscribed grave markers. In SW corner overgrown ruin of 'watch house' (Brunicardi ibid.). At centre, ruins of Kilmonoge parish church (CO112-04202-). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
- CO112-042002 Church
Description
In centre of graveyard (CO122-04201-), fragmentary ivy-clad remains of parish church of Kilmonoge, consisting of nave (int.: 9.5m E-W; 6.2m N-S) and chancel (int.: 6.8m E-W; 4.6m N-S). Sod-covered walls of nave stand c.0.5m H; walls of chancel stand to near full height, except E gable which is collapsed. Brunicardi (1913, 45) suggests chancel alone may have served as church in latter years of use. Collapsed remains of wall press and window ope in N wall of chancel. In repair 1615 and 1639 but abandoned by 1699 (Brady 1863, vol. 1, 224). According to O'Donoghue (1986, 177) 'known locally as Kilmonoge Abbey....founded by Longs of Mount Long', but no such monastic foundation listed by Gwynn and Hadcock (1988).
