What is recorded here
Derryclogh Lower holds a triangular burial mound beside the Saivnose river, still marked by faint grave stones in open pasture. The ground has watched herds graze and storms pass for generations, keeping the dead close to water and sky. Local people still call it a burial ground, not a mystery, because the shape and markers leave little room for doubt.
In pasture on W bank of Saivnose river. Triangular mound (H 0.4m; L 6m; Wth 4m); some possible grave markers noted. Known locally as "burial ground".
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.
