What is recorded here

Grave marks a buried soldier field in County Cork, recorded on the 1842 map and described locally as the resting place of White boys. Land reclamation has swallowed the surface trace, leaving only the name to point at bones forgotten beneath soil. The absence becomes the feature: a place that erases its own evidence while still demanding recognition.

Marked "graves" on OS 6-inch map (1842). According to local information, burial place of White boys or English 'soldiers' in the vicinity. Some land reclamation has taken place and no surface trace of burials was noted. 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
