What is recorded here

Children died young in Tonacooleen and were laid to rest beside Killeen Fort. The earth swallowed their names, their toys and their breath until nothing visible remained. Forgetting is not the same as losing them, because love keeps moving through the soil like water through rock.

Associated with a ringfort (GA028-046----) named 'Killeen Fort'. According to local tradition, there was a CBG in or near this cashel but no visible surface trace of it survives. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
