What is recorded here
Kill Burial Ground is an invisible pasture on an east-facing slope where memory replaces marble. Maps named it in 1842 and dismissed it by 1902, yet local tradition still points to buried people beneath the grass. The land keeps what surveying forgot: a graveyard hidden inside ordinary countryside.
In pasture on E-facing slope. Marked 'Kill Grave Yard' on 1842 OS 6-inch map; 'Disused' on 1902 OS 6-inch map. No visible surface trace. Tradition of burial ground still exists.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
