What is recorded here
Killeen (ardagh By.) holds a children's burial ground beside a possible ecclesiastical enclosure. The townland name and local belief point to this use, yet no grave-markers remain visible. The place preserves young death without proof, marking the boundary between memory and evidence.
Associated with a possible ecclesiastical enclosure (LF020-033----). It is locally believed that the enclosure is the site of a children's burial ground, a suggestion reinforced by the townland name. However, no grave-markers are visible. (Crawford 1926, 124-5)
