What is recorded here

Redington still stands beside the buried place, preserving the shape of the loss even when the markers disappeared. The grave may have held a child, a traveller or a family member whose name never reached writing. Forgetting did not erase the event; it returned the person to soil, silence and the continuing life of the field.

Coleman (1894, 35) refers to a grave found near Redington. Exact location not known. 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.
