Burial ground in Kilbeg (carbery East (w.d) By.) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Kilbeg preserves a triangular burial ground on a north-facing slope, where overgrowth still marks the edges of a place local memory has never forgotten. The earth rises slightly to the west and dips into a shallow fosse to the east, giving the field the shape of a bed made for laying someone down. No stones break the grass to tell the story, but the land itself remembers the weight of the dead and the patience of those who buried them without asking to be remembered.

In pasture on N-facing slope. Local tradition of burial ground here. Triangular area (40m N-S; 36m E-W) defined by overgrowth. Shallow fosse to E (D 0.4m); slight rise to W. No 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
