What is recorded here

Killountane Burial Gd (Disused) is a vanished grave yard on a south-facing slope in County Cork, Ireland. It appeared on the 1842 map but became disused by 1902, leaving no visible trace behind. The land may have swallowed its memories, forcing the dead to become legend instead of landmark.

In tillage on S-facing slope. Marked 'Killountane Grave Yard' on 1842 OS 6-inch map; 'disused' on 1902 OS 6-inch map. No visible surface trace. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
