Mass grave discovered when old ground level was lowered to enlarge existing garden at rear of of private residence in Greenmount. Excavated by Stella Cherry (NMI), July 1990. Remains of at least fifteen individuals, 1m to 1.5m below ground level, were removed. All bones were disarticulated, many were broken and in most cases stacked into neat piles with skulls lying close by and could not represent original placement of bodies. No trace of delimiting pit evident. Until latter half of 19th century this area known as 'Gallows Green' (1842 OS 6-inch map). (Cherry 1991, 20) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994).
