Burial ground in Dunisky

Burial ground

What is recorded here

Conifers crowd the west half of a triangular field in Dunisky while sheep graze the east, yet locals still call the whole slope a burial ground. The earth may hold forgotten people beneath ordinary grass, waiting for rain or footsteps to reveal what memory has dropped.
In pasture, on NE-facing slope. Triangular field (c. 45m E-W; c. 30m N-S (max.)) enclosed by earthen field fences. W half planted with conifers; rough grazing to E. Known locally as burial ground. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
