What is recorded here

Killeen Burial Ground is a disused site in County Cork, Ireland, where a raised subcircular area twelve metres across and seventy centimetres high holds possible grave markers beneath pasture. The undulating interior suggests bodies were laid to rest on the SW-facing slope before the land returned to grass and forgetfulness.

In pasture on break in SW-facing slope. Raised subcircular area (H 0.7m; diam. 12m). Interior undulating with some possible grave markers. 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
