The National Monuments Service's description

The graveyard was formerly located in a low lying coastal situation. The OS Letters (1837) record the presence of a burial ground a little to the S and W of the house associated with Cork abbey 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).
