What is recorded here

In the valley of the Flesk River, a triangular patch of level pasture holds a cillín where children were buried until the mid-20th century. Uninscribed markers radiate from a central cross-slab, suggesting the stone served as a focal point throughout the site's use. Overgrowth now obscures many markers, but the curving earth bank and stony ground still define the quiet boundary where local families placed their dead.

In level pasture, in the valley of the Flesk River. This burial ground is in a roughly triangular area defined by a slightly curving bank of earth and stone (L 28m NNW-SSE; Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.6m) at SW, by a modern field boundary (28m NNE-SSW) at E, and by a slightly raised stony area (30m SW-NE) at NW. This stony area is occupied by uninscribed upright and fallen grave-markers, many of which are obscured by overgrowth. According to local information, it is known as a 'cillín' and burials took place here up to the mid-20th century. A cross-slab (KE076-011002-) is within the interior of the burial ground. According to Dennehy (1997, 164), the 'markers radiate out from the cross-slab which appears to have acted as a focal point throughout the use of the ceallúnach'.
