What is recorded here

Calluragh is a children's burial ground on a NW sloping upland pasture in County Kerry, overlooking the Cummeragh river valley. Its uneven surface holds numerous grave-markers in apparent randomness, while four slabs in the southwest delineate a low rectangular stony mound. The site remains heavily overgrown but distinct, preserving a quiet, sorrowful purpose beneath the grass.

This site is located in NW sloping upland pasture and overlooks the Cummeragh river valley to N and W. It survives as a heavily overgrown, roughly rectangular area and measures 20.4m NW-SE x 12.7m NE-SW. Numerous grave-markers, most of which occur in an apparently random manner, occupy its uneven upper surface. In the SW sector, four slabs delineate one side of a low, rectangular, stony mound, which measures 6.3m x 2.3m and .5m high. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 986. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 July 2013
