What is recorded here

Burial Gd occupies the northeast quadrant of a ringfort in County Cork, marking a rectangular space fifteen metres long and ten metres wide where grave stones still outline the dead. The fort likely served as a regional centre of power, meaning the buried people may have held rank, skill or simply belonged to the local community. Their names are lost, but the stones preserve the fact that they lived, died and were judged worth remembering beside the living settlement.
