On narrow neck of land at south side of Low Island. Named 'Old Grave Yard' on OS 6-inch map (1842). Neck of land completely eroded through at centre: on surface to S of erosion, layer of quartz pebbles exposed; to NE quartz pebbles visible in eroded face. According to Burke (1914, 69) there was also a 'mortuary chapel there'. No visible surface trace survives.
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.
