What is recorded here

Unlocated burial ground within townland mentioned by Carrigan as 'There was a very ancient burial ground in Mr. Justin's land on the top of Coole Hill, a quarter of a mile south of Kilbrickan Church. It occupied the angle, to the right, formed by the road from Kilbrickan station, at its meeting on the Hill, with the old road leading thence to Castletown. It was about a quarter of an acre in area. Though unused for interments, perhaps for centuries, and not surrounded by fence or wall, it remained undisturbed till about 1850, when it was at length uprooted and levelled. Now not a trace of it remains, and even its site is known to but very few' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 176). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 17 December 2007

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
