What is recorded here

Killeenagh Burial Ground stands as a subcircular patch of pasture on an east-facing slope in County Cork, marked on the 1842 Ordnance Survey map. A low earth and stone bank, barely forty centimetres high, still traces its fifteen-metre boundary despite heavy overgrowth and the complete absence of grave markers. The place has slipped from active memory, leaving only a faint circular shadow in the grass where the dead once rested.
Marked 'Burial Ground' on OS 6-inch map (1842). In pasture on break in E-facing slope. Subcircular area (15m E-W) partially enclosed by earth and stone bank (H 0.4m). No grave markers noted; heavily overgrown. 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
