Burial ground in Killeany Beg

Burial ground

What is recorded here

Killeany Beg holds a forgotten burial ground beside a church named in a 15th century rental. The exact spot has vanished, but the name still points to dead people, prayer and memory beneath ordinary ground. Forgetting did not erase the place; it only removed the marker.
Westropp (1904-5, 397) lists a church and burial-ground in 'Killeany' which is mentioned in a 15th century rental. Exact location not known, but likely to be in either of the adjacent townlands, Killeany Beg or Killeany More.

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