What is recorded here
Children's burial ground in Derrynacoulagh, County Kerry, Ireland: a rectangular shadow beneath mature trees, marked by low uninscribed stones. Inside the outer rath, small deaths were given shape and witness rather than hidden from the world. The stones stand barely thirty centimetres high, humble enough to be missed and deliberate enough to remember.
In the SW quadrant of a rath (KE102-007----). A roughly rectangular area (c. 22m N-S; c. 18m E-W) indicated by uninscribed stone grave-markers (H 0.1-0.3m). Mature deciduous trees and undergrowth cover the area.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
