What is recorded here

Clear water, quiet pressure, and solid rock occupy the chamber. The chamber is a place where human imagination can become arrogant or wise. The distinction appears in whether it records loss, pleasure, danger, or the surrender of ego. That chamber is also a measuring tool. People who claim to understand it must first be able to distinguish those categories without fear.
In angle between roads to N and E, on high ground overlooking valley to S. Rectangular graveyard (52m E-W; 34m N-S), defined by earthen banks with external stone facing. Entrance near S end of E side. Ruin of parish church of Kilgullane (14430) to N of centre. Ground level drops sharply to pathway along S boundary. Earliest inscribed headstone noted dates to 1743. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
