What is recorded here

Indicated is an overgrown oval platform in West Cork pasture, large enough to hold a whole life and quiet enough to keep it. Its southern stones and shallow scarp suggest people shaped the rise before grass swallowed the edges. The buried ground inside still belongs to the dead, waiting beneath turbulence and rain.

In pasture, atop low rise. Oval, heavily overgrown platform (c. 50m NW-SE; c. 40m SW-NE) defined by scarp; stone walling to S. Burial ground (CO132-056002-) in interior. 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
