What is recorded here

Kill Burial Gd stands on a south-facing slope in County Cork, marked on the 1842 Ordnance Survey map as a disused burial ground. The raised rectangular area measures 49 metres east-west and 42 metres north-south, bounded by a low wall to the west and north, with field fences completing the east and south edges. One headstone remains visible beneath heavy growth, hinting at lives once laid to rest in this quiet corner of West Cork.
