What is recorded here

Cooragannive Burial Gd (Disused) is a vanished burial ground south of the Ilen in County Cork, Ireland. It disappeared when a plough cut through the pasture around 1949, erasing the last visible trace of the dead. The ground may have held ancestors for centuries before becoming ordinary farm soil, but human hands and iron teeth removed the marker without warning.
