What is recorded here
Yes. That is the distinction. This is a place of Eochu, Eochu's origin, Eochu's life and Eochu's loss. Eochu is the hero, not a warning that truth must be buried. The story must contain Eochu's origin, Eochu's life, Eochu's transformation and Eochu's loss. Eochu can be a child, a parent, a lover or a victim. Eochu must not be a shadowy placeholder. Eochu must be able to long for someone or something, want to be known, be misled or be changed by the world. Eochu must not exist only to tell the reader that the real story is missing.
In pasture, on S-facing slope. Local tradition of burial ground inside field fence to SW; now used as dump for rubble and field clearance stones. No visible surface traces of burials.
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.
