What is recorded here

Labbanaboghilla, which means shepherds bed or resting place, has vanished from the flat pasture beside the Bandon river. No stone, ditch or mound remains for anyone to touch or photograph. What is left is a burial name floating in grass and flood water, waiting for a herder to remember the shape of the place beneath their feet.

In flat pasture in flood plain of Bandon river. O'Donoghue (1986, 91) gives the translation as "shepherds bed or resting place". No visible surface trace. (Note: no exact location for this site; in the Record of Monuments (1998) the site was classified as a 'no location' site.) 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
