Burial ground in Killally East

Burial ground

What is recorded here

Killally East holds a forgotten burial ground hidden inside The Cill Field, still named for the dead beneath the soil. Power recorded the cillin near Paul Walsh's farm in 1932, capturing a place where ordinary farming life overlapped ancient memory. The exact spot has vanished, but the field name preserves the shape of what was lost.
Power (1932, 91) recorded 'cillin' at Killally which was 'on Mr Paul Walsh's farm, close to the residence, in a field still called "The Cill Field".' Exact location not known. 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
