Killeenuna Burial Gd (Disused) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Killeenuna is a disused burial ground in County Cork where local memory places three men lost by O'Sullivan Bear while crossing the River Allow. The oval bank sits in pasture on a NW-facing slope, reduced to a low ridge beside a field fence, with a holy well nearby and no visible grave marks left for the living to find.

Shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map as hachured oval enclosure truncated by lane on SW side; shown on 1905 and 1937 OS 6-inch maps as arc of broken line NNW->S with straight field fences on SW and NW sides, marked 'disused'. In pasture, on NW-facing slope. Oval area (23m NE-SW; 21m NW-SE) enclosed by low earthen bank (H 0.1m int.; 0.75m ext.). Outer face of bank cut by field fence to SW. Interior slopes slightly downhill to NW. No visible surface trace of burials. O'Mullane (1978-9, 38) refers to it as a 'fort, Cillin Una, in Ned Doherty's farm' which was 'also a burial ground.' According to local information, three men lost by O'Sullivan Bear while crossing the River Allow are buried here (pers. comm. R. O'Sullivan). Holy well (13937) c. 10m to NE.
