What is recorded here

Ringcurran Burial Ground holds worn markers from the 18th century inside a wooden fence just outside the NE wall of Charles Fort. The irregular plot measures 49.5m north-south and 42.1m east-west, small enough to walk across in minutes yet deep enough to contain generations of forgotten breath. People may have laid their dead here while the fort watched, trusting stone and soil to keep what life released.
One of two burial grounds just outside NE wall of Charles Fort (CO125-007---). Irregular area (49.5m N-S; 42.1m E-W) enclosed by wooden fence. Grave markers very worn; some dating to 18th century. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
