Burial ground in Cappaboy Beg — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Cappaboy Beg holds a children's burial ground, a rectangular patch of pasture bounded by a low stone wall on three sides and cut into the hill on the fourth. The local name suggests small bodies rather than adults, though no written list survives to confirm it. The wall still stands, the grass still grows over the marks, and the slope still faces southwest as if waiting for someone young to return.

In pasture on SW-facing slope. Rectangular area (L 19m; Wth 7.6m) partially enclosed by rough stone wall (H 1m) to E, S and W. Interior cut into hillslope on N side. Known locally as "children's burial ground". 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
