What is recorded here
Na Cluainte holds a children's burial ground inside an old ringfort, where forgotten lives still touch the soil. The ovate enclosure keeps possible hut remains and graves close together, suggesting people lived, lost young children, and continued marking the place across centuries. In County Kerry, that layer of loss and care belongs to the land itself.
Ulligadrevil/Ulaidh an Draghbháil: This site consists of an ovate enclosure within which are the possible remains of hut sites and graves.
It is difficult to classify this site from a surface inspection alone but it may have been a ringfort which was later re-used as a calluragh burial ground.
