What is recorded here

Skarragh in County Cork, Ireland holds a lost burial ground hidden beneath repeated ploughing. The field is called Pairc na Cille, meaning church field, but no church or grave marker remains visible. Men and women may have laid dead there before soil and seed erased the shape of the place.

Bowman (1934, 556) recorded field in W. O'Callaghan's known as 'Pairc na Cille - church field. Field has been tilled many times - no remains of church (CO041-171002-) or burial ground now to be seen.' (ibid.). 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
