What is recorded here
Killeenagh is a burial ground on the south shoreline of White Ball, where the sea now bites into its stone scatter and upright markers. People have laid their dead among those stones for generations, trusting the coast to keep what it takes back.
On S shoreline of White Ball head. Irregular area (20m N-S; 8m E-W) defined by stone scatter on surface; S side suffering from sea erosion. Some upright 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.
