What is recorded here

Killeen Burial Ground is a disused grave yard in County Cork, Ireland. It appears on old maps as a small rectangular or circular area on a southwest-facing slope. Today the grass covers most of it, though a few stones still poke through the soil. People may have laid their dead there before the fields changed and the boundary faded from memory.
Shown as rectangular area (c. 20m x c. 8m) defined by broken line and named 'Killeen Grave Yard' on 1842 OS 6-inch map; subcircular area (diam. c. 10m) shown on 1904 OS 6-inch map. In pasture, on SW-facing slope. Slightly raised (H c. 0.2-0.3m) subcircular area (8m E-W; 6m N-S) with some stones protruding through grass which may be rock outcrops or grave markers. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
