Burial ground in Killetragh

Burial ground

What is recorded here

Killetragh once held a burial ground beside a church, but repeated ploughing erased every visible trace. The dead may still lie beneath ordinary soil, waiting for rain or memory to reveal them.
Bowman (1934, 333) recorded burial ground and church site (14503) in Michael O'Flynn's land, in field called 'The Keel...This field has been ploughed many times so no remains are now to be seen'. 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
