What is recorded here

Derrgelavawe Burial Gd (Disused) is a rectangular pasture field on a south-facing slope in County Cork, Ireland, marked as a burial ground on maps from 1842 and 1901. Grass and bramble have swallowed most of its purpose, leaving only one possible headstone visible above the green. The dead may still rest beneath the trod earth, forgotten by living feet but remembered in the shape of the field itself.

In pasture, on S-facing slope. Rectangular field, indicated on OS 6-inch maps (1842; 1901) as burial ground. Heavily overgrown; one possible headstone visible. 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
