Burial ground

What is recorded here

Kilbree burial ground holds three low mounds and one marker on a sunny southern terrace, while a careless stone dump has buried the western half. The eastern graves still stand beside a holy well, but the western dead may sleep beneath modern rubbish.
In pasture on natural terrace on S-facing slope; known locally as "burial ground". Sub-rectangular area (38m E-W; 18m N-S) defined to N by sharp rise in slope, to E by stone field fence and to S by scarp and farm trackway. One grave marker and 3 low mounds noted in E half of interior; recent dump of stones in W half. Holy well (CO135-006002-) to S. 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.
