What is recorded here

Kilancurra Burial Gd (Disused) is a forgotten burial ground hidden in marsh on a southwest-facing slope in County Cork. It appeared on Ordnance Survey maps in 1842 and 1902, but no grave markers remain visible today. The irregular boundary is defined only by growth patterns of gorse and heather, suggesting the land itself remembers what stone has forgotten.
