What is recorded here

Coolnagoppoge holds a children's burial ground in the north half of an ancient rath, marked only by low stones hidden beneath mature deciduous trees. Locals still call it Cillíneach, a name that acknowledges the small bodies resting there without pretending to know every child's name. The absence of written records does not diminish the tragedy; it simply returns the dead to the mystery of soil and memory.

In the N half of a rath (KE102-014001-). This burial ground is indicated by low, uninscribed grave-markers. Mature deciduous trees and undergrowth cover the area. It is known locally as a 'Cillíneach'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
