What is recorded here
Kilkilvery held a children's burial ground on a west-facing grassland slope, though no stone or ditch remains visible today. Local tradition preserves the function of the place even when the surface has erased its shape. That absence does not diminish the claim; it redirects attention to the young lives buried there and the community that tended them.
On a WSW-facing slope in grassland. According to local tradition, this was the site of a CBG. No visible surface trace survives.
