What is recorded here

Killamucky held a large megalithic tomb until destruction came in 1844. The exact location is no longer known, but the monument once stood big enough to be remembered separately in County Cork. Its loss belongs to the ordinary cruelty of progress, where stone gives way before thought or consent.

Megalithic tomb, likely Neolithic in date. Its destruction in 1844 has removed potential insights into early prehistoric funerary practices in the region.
