Kiel (Disused) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Kiel is a disused burial ground in County Cork, marked on the 1842 Ordnance Survey map and enclosed by earthen banks on three sides. The rectangular plot measures twenty-three by twenty-four metres, sits beside a rock outcropping, and remains heavily overgrown without visible grave markers. People may have laid their dead beneath that grass long before the surveyors drew the line, trusting the soil to keep what the world forgot.

In pasture with rock outcropping. Marked 'Kiel' on OS 6-inch map (1842). Rectangular area (23m N-S; 24m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank to N, E and S; townland boundary to W. No grave markers noted; heavily overgrown. 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
