The National Monuments Service's description
In Kilnamanagh graveyard (vol. 1, no. 3118). According to local tradition, this was the site of an early Christian monastery 'Cill na Manach' (The Church of the Monks) from which the parish of Kilnamanagh derived its name. Also, according to local tradition, the ruined church (vol. 1, no. 3118), which is in the S sector of the graveyard, is on the site of the monastic settlement. As part of this tradition, funerals to the graveyard proceed around the church ruins before the coffin is placed in the grave.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
