The eighteenth century community in Cork acquired a cemetery in Kemp Street, Cork. The Rise of Provincial Jewry - Cecil Roth 1950.
"The remains of an ancient Jewish cemetery recently unearthed in Cork corroborate the existence of a Marrano community in the 17th century (sic). The cemetery probably began in 1725.
A second burial ground begun in 1885 does survive." Source: Jewish Heritage Report, c/o Jewish Heritage Research Center, 123 Clarke St., Syracuse, N.Y. 13210 (vol 1., nos. 3-4).
