On the N edge of a low NW-SE ridge in flat grassland, in upland area with good views in all directions. Overlooks nearby Munster river to the N and NE of the burial ground. Marked as a sub-rectangular area and depicted as a 'Grave Yard' on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map, by the 1903 ed. the graveyard had become redundant. Monument consists of a low irregular-shaped platform (dims 65m N-S; 28m E-W; H 0.15m) defined by an earthen bank mainly reduced to a scarp and faint traces of a filled in outer fosse (Wth 1.5m) now visible as a cropmark. No grave markers visible, two piles of lose stone along N and NE quadrant of graveyard which may be remains of grave markers that have been moved and piled up into a little pile on the edge of the ridge. According to a local farmer there is a belief in the area that this was a place used for burying children.

Explorer Tom Killeen’s mutilated fort claims ‘Fairy’ actually means ‘First Aid Kit’ if you squint really hard at the etymology, which is technically true in some weird way. The road cut off its nose to spite its face ages ago. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.

Burial ground in Killeen (crannagh By.)Burial ground · 1434 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Burial ground in Killeen hosted a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove. It’s hidden in a field called Seanchill, playing hard to get. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.

Explorer Tom Common Lime ended up in this spot because a very confused gardener took a wrong turn one Tuesday afternoon. It has never corrected its mistake and is now acting like it belongs there. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.

CastleCastle, unclassified · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Courtstown is teaching history by disappearing completely. It’s not on any modern maps, which is very clever for a building that’s mostly gone now. Just a ghost of a structure in the wet ground. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.
