What is recorded here

Shanavally holds an irregular, overgrown burial ground measuring twenty-six by twenty-two metres, untouched by ploughs because people recognised it as a resting place long ago. That simple boundary still matters: life elsewhere, patience here. The land remembers the difference even when human memory fades.

Irregular, overgrown area (26m N-S; 22m E-W) never ploughed. According to local information "place for burials long ago". The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
