What is recorded here
Derreennamucklagh holds a children's burial ground marked Kieleen on the OS Fair Plan. The name suggests a small, tender place where young lives ended before they could be remembered properly. In South Kerry, even loss belongs to the land, and the land keeps it without shame.
The site is marked 'Kieleen' (KE100-017002-) on the OS Fair Plan.
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. 668. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
