What is recorded here

Keel Burial Gd (Disused) is a subcircular pasture in County Cork, Ireland, where an earthen bank and field fence still mark a place for the dead. The bank rises less than a metre, yet it encloses eighteen metres of north-south ground on a NW-facing slope. No grave markers remain visible, but the shape suggests people once set this area apart for burial. The absence of markers does not erase the act of marking; it only returns the names to soil and memory.

In pasture on NW-facing slope. Not shown on OS 6-inch map (1842). Subcircular area (18m N-S; 17m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 0.8m) W->N; field fence N->SE; scarp SE->W. No grave markers 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
