What is recorded here

Mud and memory still mark the lost Shinnagh rath, though no stone remains to point at it. Daniel O'Connor's land held the burial ground when witnesses walked it in the 1940s, and that testimony is all the address it has now. The dead may have lain beneath ordinary grass while the living grazed, played or argued above them. Forgetting has not erased the place; it has only removed the chance to visit it.

In the 1940s a rath, which was used as a burial ground (KE068-152001-), was recorded in Daniel O'Connor's land (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). Its precise location is not known.
