    1. [COUNTYCORK] Old Burial Grounds

Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: I don't know off hand what research has been done, but in researching the townland where my Lane ancestors lived in Innishannon I found that there was an old burial ground shown on the 19th century ordnance survey maps. It is still marked on the present day OS maps but if you go there you will find that it is no more than an uncultivated patch in the middle of some sugar beet fields. There are no stones nor walls, but the farmers all know where it is and simply plow around it. -dja Good Morning Cork List: There is a Burial Ground in the middle of a large field in Minane Bridge as well. I wanted to record every headstone on a visit there in 1999, but since it had rained for three straight days, the field was waterlogged and impossible to walk on. If anyone else would like to visit this Burial Ground, it is known to the local farmers, as one took me to the gate and pointed to the burial ground 80 yards across the field. The burial ground is off a side road (right turn) on the way from Carrigaline to Minane Bridge. If anyone visits and records the headstones, or has already done so, please share that info. Good luck and thank you. Dan Murphy: Boston ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
