What is recorded here

Kilbarry holds a buried field where no cross or stone remains visible. The missing graves may have fed the soil that grew last summer's barley. That thought turns ordinary farmwork into a conversation with forgotten people. The earth keeps its own record even when human memory fades.

In tillage, on gentle S-facing slope. According to local information, burial ground in this field. No visible surface trace of burial ground. Circular enclosure (13562), site of church and horizontal-wheeled mill (14489,14058) in adjoining field to E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
