What is recorded here

Kill Burial Gd (Disused) is a sub-rectangular burial ground in County Cork, Ireland, marked 'Kill Grave Yd' on the 1842 OS map. A 1.2m stone wall encloses 34.5m by 28.5m of pasture, with a 6m gap to the west-northwest and faint grave markers still visible. The dead likely rested here centuries before surveyors drew the boundary, their names lost but their shape preserved in stone.
