What is recorded here

Burial Gd is a circular burial ground in County Cork, Ireland, where grave markers and loose stones still mark the dead beneath pasture grass. The site measures about twenty metres across and keeps its shape inside a low stone-faced bank, while local people call it a keel. That simple name suggests the place has long served as a quiet boundary between the living field and the remembered dead.

In pasture. Circular area (20.8m N-S; 20m E-W) enclosed by field boundary NW->ENE; stone faced earthen bank (H 0.8m) ENE->NW. Grave markers and many loose stones in interior. Locally known as "keel". 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
