Headstones can be dated back to the 1700's.
If anyone is interested in a possible ancestor buried at the graveyard, please email me anytime.

St. Mary's Church of Ireland, Carrigaline, Co. Cork is approximately 15kms south-east of Cork City.
Some headstones date back to the early 1700's. Many are legible, with others too weathered to give full information. I have two examples of the headstones below. I visit the area from time to time. Please email if you require any further information.
