What is recorded here

In pasture, close to the seashore on an E-facing slope overlooking Coulagh Bay. A roughly triangular area (8.2m N-S; 8m E-W) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (max. Wth 1.8m; max. H 0.6m) on the SE and SW sides and elsewhere by a low scarp. The enclosed area was used as a children's burial ground and is known locally as a 'cillíneach'. It contains a small number of uninscribed upright stone grave-markers. An enclosure (CO114-066002-) lies c. 20m to the SE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
