The oldest grave inside the church is supposed to be dated 1740, while the oldest tombstone in the graveyard is dated 1727.

This is the oldest Headstone I could find.
Date: 1745

 

There appears to be no record of this old church prior to 1582, when the Diocesan Register states:-" Epus contulit vicariam ccclcsia sparochialis Stae. Mariae de Kilbonneayn, Corck, dioc. Domino Johanni Brethnagli presbitcro 30 Julii 1582. Inductus cst quasi in proem, 26 th August. Phil. Goldens Registrarius."
