What is recorded here

Indicated is a children's burial ground in the Flesk River valley, County Kerry. Its low grass-covered bank curves sixty metres through level pasture, marking the southwest edge of a larger ecclesiastical enclosure. The gentle sweep and modest height suggest a place set apart for the smallest dead, while the nearby cross-slab and leacht point to a wider sacred landscape.
In level pasture, in the valley of the Flesk River. A low grass-covered bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.6m) of earth and stone, curves gradually for c. 60m forming the SW arc of the enclosing element of a children's burial ground (KE076-011001-). This bank appears to be part of a large enclosure associated with a nearby cross-slab (KE076-011001-) and leacht (KE076-011004-).
