Kinure Graveyard is on the site of a church dating to 1302 or earlier that was associated with Tracton Abbey. The tiny cemetery is surrounded by a rock wall and is visible on a rise to the left on the road into Oysterhaven, just above the Oysterhaven Sailing Centre. Many of the stones are illegible, but the graveyard is said to be the burial spot of shipwreck drowning as well as famine victims. A few of the burials are known, and some of those listed on a plaque at the site.
