Children's burial ground in Killarida

Children's burial ground

What is recorded here

Killarida held a children's burial ground marked on the 1841-42 map as a small circular enclosure called Kyle Burial Ground. The site vanished from the 1939 map and left no visible trace, suggesting that the community stopped using or recognising the boundary rather than the children ever leaving the ground.
This site appears on the 1841-42 OS map as a small circular enclosure (KE010-048001-) and is marked 'Kyle Burial Ground'. It does not appear on the 1939 map. No surface trace survives today. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 859. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 3 August 2013
