What is recorded here

Kill Burial Ground is a nameless rectangular chamber in County Cork where a stone wall, rock outcrop and quiet pasture still hold the dead. It measures eighteen metres east to west and seven metres north to south, yet no marker breaks the grass to tell whose bones lie beneath. The absence of graves makes the boundary more striking, as if the land itself remembers what people stopped naming.

In pasture on S-facing slope just S of burial ground (CO135-010002-). Rectangular area (18m E-W; 7m N-S) defined by stone wall to W and N and rock outcrop to E and S. No grave markers noted. 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
