Burial ground in Kilculleen

Burial ground

What is recorded here

Kilculleen is a hidden burial ground in County Limerick, recorded by Westropp in 1904-5 but never precisely located. The name alone preserves a place where people may have laid others to rest, marked roads, gathered stones or spoken prayers beside dead kin. Its absence from modern sight does not remove it from the world; it withdraws the place from easy judgement and returns it to memory.
