Courtaparteen Sunrise (Version 2)

Courtaparteen Church and Graveyard near Kinsale, Co Cork, Ireland.

Courtaparteen chapel was a 6th century church/chapel and graveyard. Now the chapel, said to have links with Saint Rúadhán is a ruin, it's still a remarkably moving place to visit not only for the incredible coastal scenery but for the fact that so many local families have been buried here over the years. Graves range from beyond readable in years, to 2011, so still an active burial ground today.
