"Church with square tower of rubble masonry" is the original St Finbarre's Cathedral, Cork

Because of the different family names, is this a grave of disaster victims.

Here is the reverse view - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000563899 - the "hexagonal spire" must be relatively unusual ...

A quick peruse of the irishgenealogy.ie website suggests that a Corn(elius) Ryan and a Mary Lucey both died in Macroom in 1865 and 1866 respectively. Deaths for 4 people called Denis Manly are also recorded between 1865 and 1887, all in Cork City or county. I think there may be a Cork connection in this photograph.

Strictly speaking, the definition of a hamlet is a small settlement which does NOT have a church.

Possible clue for consideration. As www.flickr.com/photos/beachcomberaustralia/ offered- catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000563899/Details#tabnav Notice the Stereo-Pairs have a number in the top-centre "581". What photos do NLI have that have "549", "580", "582", "583", for example. What was the method of travel during the period the photo was taken, with photographic equipment? Horse and buggy? Walking? Horse, only? Next, if you have identified photos "580" and "582" and you make an assumption about speed, amount time to travel, then you could deduce a distance and then make concentric/intersecting rings on a map to determine probable locations of the church for stereo-photo "581".

Still standing, but not so pointed. That space rocket memorial is hidden behind the yew? tree. In 2015 via Sean MacEntee

Mr French / Lawrence visited earlier when the ruins were covered in vegetation, and the yew? tree was much smaller - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000324386

Hmmm - in stereo pairs times there was less vegetation - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000563666

The 'space rocket' is a memorial to Dr. Myles H. Mahony - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000576511 Edit - "A short distance south east from the church is an obelisk monument to a much-loved Killarney doctor, Myles Ó Mahony, in appreciation of his services to the victims of the Famine in the 1840s. The inscription on the monument reads "Erected by the clergy, gentry, traders and peasantry of Killarney to testify their sorrowing bereavement at the early demise of the upright man and self-sacrificing friend, the zealous and charitable physician" More - members.iinet.net.au/~patrick6/NUNSTOWN1_.htm
