The National Monuments Service's description
Formerly located in a low lying coastal situation. According to the OS Letters (1837) Cork Abbey was built on the site of an earlier abbey. The letters also record the presence of a burial ground a little to the S and W of the house where headstones and bones had been dug up (Herity 2001, 33). Corke Abbey House has since been knocked down and a housing estate built on the site (Healy 1975, 1-19).
