What is recorded here

Na Leadhba Liatha holds a children's burial ground beside a circular hut and rectangular platform in County Kerry. Lynch found a broken hand-quern there in 1902, suggesting domestic life alongside death. The stony platform and intermittent uprights still mark the edge of that lost world.
