  This is not Latin, this is old Icelandic. Only the last three lines are in Latin.

  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 ...

• BultacoFan said:

  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.

• Niall McAuley said:

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

• CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY said:

  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".

  Shame, those stones could SPEAK. Historical vandalism.
