What is recorded here

Cill (Site of) is an enclosure in Lyre East (decies Without Drum By.), County Waterford, Ireland. The 1999 inventory recorded a subcircular scrub-covered area measuring 30 metres northeast to southwest and 27 metres northwest to southeast on a northwest-facing slope. A one-metre-high scarp ran southwest to northeast, a stone-faced bank ran northeast to south, and a straight field bank closed the remaining edge. Local tradition identified the site as an old burial ground, although no burial evidence emerged.

Marked only on the 1925 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and known locally as an old burial ground (OS Name Books). Situated on a NW-facing slope. Subcircular scrub-covered area (dims. 30m NE-SW; 27m NW-SE) defined by a scarp (H 1m) SW-NE, a stone-faced bank (Wth 1m; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 0.3m) NE-S and a straight field bank elsewhere.
