Boulder-burial in Kilkilleen — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Kilkilleen held a boulder-burial on the eastern edge of Roaringwater Bay, where solid stone may have marked death before human hands shaped it. The chamber is gone now, erased from the pasture and memory alike. What remains is the shape of the loss: a room built for the dead, swallowed back by the living world.

In level pasture on E side of Roaringwater Bay. Possible boulder-burial removed many years ago; no visible trace (pers. comm. B. O'Regan) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
