What is recorded here

In rough pasture, between two ridges of outcropping rock. A small subtriangular field containing numerous grave markers, known locally as "kill burial ground" for children (pers. comm. Mr. Paul Walsh). Radial stone enclosure (CO150-016----), 250m to N is named 'Kill Burial Gd.' on OS 6-inch maps (1842; 1902). 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
A possible prehistoric burial ground, potentially dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, indicated by the presence of grave markers and radial stone enclosure features. Its local association with child burials adds cultural significance, though its exact type and period remain undetermined.
