Burial ground in Kilnagnady

Burial ground

What is recorded here

Kilnagnady holds a buried graveyard beneath ordinary pasture, preserving deaths that stopped local traffic or marked a neighbourhood before roads redrew the county. The field gives no mound, fence or stone away, so the dead remain hidden inside the living landscape rather than displayed for visitors. That absence makes the place sharper: an entire life may have ended, been dug and forgotten while cattle still graze above it.
In pasture. Local tradition of graveyard (CMSS). No visible surface trace. 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

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