What is recorded here

Nothing visible marks the Cahermoyle burial ground anymore, yet a farm trackway still cuts across the hill where nineteenth-century surveyors drew a circular grave. The land has been reclaimed for pasture and working sheds, turning ancient death into ordinary traffic. What was elevated and set apart has become a surface for wheels and shadow, remembered only because someone wrote it down before the soil forgot.
In reclaimed pasture, on gentle W-facing slope in undulating terrain. Sub-rectangular area (13.5m N-S; 13.9m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 0.5m). Scarp disturbed at NW due to dump of earth and stones; mature ash tree growing along top at WSW. Uneven interior covered by nettles. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
