What is recorded here

Killincooly More holds three buried lives caught between cream and bone. A vase urn keeps fire-smashed flesh, a bowl hides a crouched body, and another bowl may hold ashes again. They cluster on a shallow slope above the sea, close enough to touch if the grass were lifted. The dead did not scatter; they waited together, patient under the flat earth.

Situated on a NE-facing slope with a small NW-SE stream c. 100m to the NE, and the sea-shore is c. 700m to the SE. A Vase urn with a cremation (Grattan-Esmonde 1903, 69-70), a bowl food vessel with a crouched inhumation in a cist that may have been discovered in 1888 and a bowl food vessel, possibly with cremation in a cist, (Ó Ríordáin 1936, 187-90) were discovered in close proximity to each other.
