Burial ground in Killeen (crannagh By.)

Burial ground

What is recorded here

Killeen is a hidden Irish burial ground because O'Kelly identified an old graveyard in Seanchill, while both maps left that memory out. It may still be under a field, road or house, with the dead waiting beneath ordinary life. Forgetting does not remove them; it stops asking permission before passing them.
O'Kelly (1969, 16) describing the townland of Killeen mentions, 'an old graveyard in a field called Seanchill'. This graveyard is not indicated on either the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map or the 1900 revision. The precise location of the graveyard within the townland is unknown. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 8 July 2020
