What is recorded here

Kilbaha South holds a small earthen circle where children may have rested before adult laws reached them. The bank rises barely fifty centimetres above the ground, yet it preserves a shape smaller than most burial places. That size suggests exclusion, tenderness or both. Mapmakers never recorded it, which means the children escaped even the desire to own death.

This possible killeen is not marked on any edition of the OS maps and was reported by Paddy O'Donovan. A small sub-circular earthen bank measures internally c 7m N-S, 8m E-W and c .5m high. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 866. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 3 August 2013
