What is recorded here

Sixty low, uninscribed markers cluster in the south portion of a disused graveyard beside Reglaish Church, suggesting a children's burial ground active during the nineteenth century. The church occupies the north-west corner of this small plot, which measures twenty-five by twenty-two metres and overlooks Ballinskelligs Bay. The markers remain plain and humble, recording young lives without naming them, while the sea wind moves through the poor pasture above them.

Reglaish Church / Reiclés, described in the OSNB as 'an abbey church' (Prior, 22), occupies the NW corner of a small disused graveyard (KE097-025001-) which measures 25m x 22m. It is situated in poor pasture and overlooks Ballinskelligs Bay to E. The S portion of the graveyard contains about sixty, low, uninscribed grave-markers, which probably relate to its use as a children's burial ground (KE097-025002-) in the nineteenth century (OSL). 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. 1095.
