What is recorded here

Seven stones lie flat in Arderrawinny while two stand guard, marking a small chamber where forgotten bodies may have rested before human memory faded. The field fence and shallow scar still contain the shape, but the loose piles around them blur the boundary between burial and farm work. Whatever lived there stopped leaving names, leaving only geometry behind.
According to local information, site of burial ground. Area (12m E-W; 8m N-S) defined by E-W field fence to N, slight scarp (H 0.3m) to E. Seven stones aligned E-W set in ground; two aligned N-S. Also piles of loose stones, possibly clearance dumps. 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
