Burial Gd (Disused) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

West Cork, Ireland. Scrub holds a raised oval, eleven metres wide and fifteen long, its low scarp still drawing the eye though grave markers have vanished under growth. The 1842 survey called it a burial ground, and the shape agrees: a deliberate edge around lives now lost to time. Walk its rim at dusk and the quiet feels occupied, as if the dead are merely waiting for someone to remember their names.

In scrub. Marked 'Burial Ground' on OS 6-inch map (1842). Raised circular area (11m E-W; 15m N-S) defined by low scarp. Interior overgrown but some grave markers noted. 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
