Recorded monuments

• CO039-035001 Graveyard
  Description

  In pasture, on break in E-facing slope; triangular graveyard (c. 60m N-S; c. 50m E-W), apex of triangle to S, enclosed by stone wall and bounded to E by road. Some uninscribed grave markers but most burials marked by 19th-century inscribed headstones; still in use. No visible remains of Kilcorney parish church except one block of limestone (0.7m x 0.5m x 0.2m) (CO039-035003-) which formed head of double ogee-headed window light, late-medieval in date; now re-used as gravemarker. Immediately across road to E is arc of bank which may be remains of early ecclesiastical enclosure (9203). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

• CO039-035002 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, on SE side of road opposite Kilcorney burial ground (9539). Remains of arc (C c. 36m) of earthen bank NE->SW indicate presence of enclosure (diam. c. 50-60m) which would originally have extended W into graveyard. According to Ní Chadhla (1994 101), graveyard was divided by construction of road in 19th century and nobody was ever buried on E side thereafter. It is possible that present walls of graveyard may date to period of road construction and that earlier enclosure was earthen in formand circular in shape. Faint traces of further earthworks noted to SE. Enclosure, townland name and graveyard suggest presence of early ecclesiastical site.
