The National Monuments Service's description
This graveyard is referred to in the 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork - vol. 3 Mid-Cork' (1997, 374-5) under the entry (no. 9484) for Ballymacadane Abbey (CO085-080002-). The graveyard is referred to as follows: '...No visible surface trace of graveyard around ruin; it apparently adjoined abbey on S side but was 'dug out' by landowner in 18th century and 'its mould used to manure the rest of the field' (Anon. 1894, 173).'
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.
