What is recorded here
West Cork, Ireland: a ruined watchman's hut in the SE corner of a graveyard, still overgrown and unsteady in identity. It may have been a small guard post beside buried people, not a home at all. The stones could have belonged to a keeper who watched the dead and the living road at once.
In graveyard (CO147-024001-). Ruined structure in SE corner; heavily overgrown; possibly remains of watchman's hut.
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.
