What is recorded here
An Cheallúnach is a forgotten children's burial ground above Boherbrack at the foot of Croaghskearda. It has slipped from local memory despite appearing in old regional writing. The hill may still hold small graves lost beneath grass and time. Forgetting does not erase the children, but it denies them witness.
An Cheallúnach: According to An Seabhac (1939, 162), this burial ground is located above the village of Boherbrack, at the foot of Croaghskearda. It is not remembered locally.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 893. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
