What is recorded here

Mallowkeevekane was a medieval village in County Cork, Ireland, now reduced to memory on an east-facing pasture slope. The land still carries a regular grid of fields, suggesting human hands shaped it before silence took over. Locals call it Mallow Field, preserving the name of a place that no longer shows itself.

In pasture, on E-facing slope; no visible surface trace of settlement marked 'site of' on 1842, 1904 and 1935 OS 6-inch maps. No associated structures shown on any editions of OS 6-inch map; 1842 OS 6-inch map does show a regular grid of fields in vicinity of site. Known locally as an ancient village and referred to as "Mallow Field" (Uí Mheiscill 1990, 128). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
