Kill Burial Gd (Site of) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Kill Burial Gd is a vanished burial ground on the north shore of Horse Island, marked only by a ruined settlement and a bullaun stone. The 1842 map captured the place before memory and weather erased it, preserving a location that no longer announces itself. Forgetting is not the same as losing; the island kept the shape of the site even when the world stopped repeating it.

On N shore of Horse Island. No visible surface trace. Settlement shown on site of burial ground on OS 6-inch map (1842); now deserted and ruined. Bullaun stone (CO149-004002-) also here. 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
