What is recorded here

Kylealiss is a subcircular enclosure in County Laois, Ireland, measuring roughly 67m north-south and 70m east-west. A low bank marks its northern edge while a scarp defines the rest, with a 4m wide fosse cutting through the west. The southwest quadrant holds a childrens burial ground, yet no original entrance remains visible. The place preserves life, death and exclusion without explaining how people entered or departed.
