The National Monuments Service's description

Approached by laneway from N; 1 Km W of Passage West, overlooking Cork Harbour to E. Subrectangular graveyard (c. 110m N-S; c. 70m E-W) enclosed by stone wall to N, W and E and by arc of earthen bank (C 30m) to S. Still in use; headstones date from 1790s; most modern interments at N end. Fitzgerald (1910-12) notes slab in centre of graveyard of 16th century appearance; his rubbing shows a rectangular slab with inscription along edges and decorated with cross whose shaft rises from plain stepped base to seven-armed interlaced cross-head with fleur-de-lis terminals, spiral flanks shaft on right side; Fitzgerald (ibid.) gives inscription which 'is partly in "the black letter" and partly in Roman capitals' as: 'Hic iacet Phillippus filius ... Ronane de Corck qui obiit Pesti(l)enciae, anno doii (domini) ...' (ibid.); no trace of slab in graveyard. At centre was ancient parish church of Marmullane marked 'Church (in ruins)' on all eds OS 6-inch map; no visible surface trace. Church in ruins by 1615 (Brady 1863, vol. 1,212); in 1700 described as 'almost quite down' (Brady 1863, vol. 1, 213).

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.
