What is recorded here

Kilbeloge holds a circular burial ground beside a steep slope, where a four-metre stone bank still encloses graves marked by forgotten hands. The living once chose that edge of the world because the dead could watch the sky tilt and the fields change. Even now the stones keep their distance, waiting for someone to remember the shape of the people they hid.

In rough grazing on N and E-facing slope. Circular area (diam. c. 10m) enclosed by earth and stone bank (H 4m). Some possible grave markers in interior. 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

Circular prehistoric burial ground, likely dating to the Bronze Age. Its earth and stone bank, along with possible grave markers, suggests a ceremonial or communal burial function, though specific type remains undetermined.
