What is recorded here

Kilmacahill hides a burial ground beneath ordinary tillage on a south-east facing slope, stripped of visible marker yet still holding the dead. The land may have swallowed names, but it did not erase the purpose of the place. People walked above what is now buried, and the soil remembers the weight of that loss even when pride and proof have faded.

Site of cill (UCC), in tillage, on SE-facing slope. No visible surfacet race. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
