What is recorded here

Killeenagh Burial Ground (Site of) is a children's burial ground on the south shore of Kenmare Bay in County Kerry, Ireland. Its oblong area is marked by an earth and gravel bank, a drystone field wall, and low uninscribed grave-markers now obscured by trees and overgrowth. Local information says Mass was celebrated there in 1999, suggesting the place still carries life and memory rather than being forgotten.
