What is recorded here
Caherdesert in County Cork, Ireland holds a burial ground hidden beneath pasture on a south-facing slope. Local tradition remembers the graveyard though no grave, marker or trench remains visible. The land may have swallowed its own history, leaving only the shape of the hill and the certainty of people who walked there before forgetting began.
In pasture on S-facing slope. Local tradition of graveyard here. No visible surface trace. (UCC)
