What is recorded here

Killeenagh Burial Gd (Disused) holds shallow graves on a gentle slope above Dunmanus Bay. The land leans north, catching early light and late rain. Stones still mark the departed, though grass has softened their edges. People may have chosen this place because the bay could be seen from the dead as well as the living.

On gentle N-facing slope overlooking Dunmanus Bay. Subrectangular area defined by townland boundary fence with shallow inner fosse (Wth c. 2m) to W; scarp (H 1.6m) to N. Interior overgrown and many grave markers noted (max. H 0.5m; Wth 0.6m). 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
