What is recorded here

Death, bread and darkness share one address in Killelton. Two hut sites, an underground passage and quern stones cluster beside the calluragh burial ground at Cill Eilthín, mixing domestic labour and funeral custom without a visible boundary. Perhaps people ground grain, entered the passage and tended the dead within a few steps, treating sustenance and loss as one continuous local practice.

Hut sites (KE037-024006- and KE037-024007-), a Man-made underground passage (KE037-024004-) and a number of quern stones have also been recorded at the site of the calluragh burial ground at Cill Eilthín (KE037-024001-).
