Crushnaleanve

Burial ground

What is recorded here

Crushnaleanve is a hidden burial ground at a West Cork crossroads, remembered only because the land still belongs to the dead. It has no marker, no boundary and no visible trace, yet it keeps its claim in the absence of proof. People may have stopped at that junction, listened for permission and carried what they knew elsewhere. The crossroads still asks whether you see what is missing.
At crossroads. No visible surface trace. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
