What is recorded here

Kilvinane Burial Ground is a disused rectangular area in County Cork pasture, marked on the 1842 Ordnance Survey map and partially enclosed by an earthen bank. It measures twenty-two metres north-south and twenty-four metres east-west, with possible grave markers still visible beneath the grass. The site has fallen quiet, but the shape and boundary remain, holding the names and lives that once gathered there.
