What is recorded here
Keel field hides a children's burial ground beneath thick scrub on a steep south-facing slope in County Cork. The disused site has retreated from memory, its markers lost to overgrowth and time. What remains is a buried threshold, where the land keeps small lives hidden from adult eyes.
In scrub on steep S-facing slope. Locally known as "keel field". Site inaccessible due to heavy overgrowth.
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.
