Kylenanny Bur.l Ground — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Kylenanny Burial Ground is a disused children's burial ground on a steep east-facing slope in County Limerick, marked on maps from 1840 to 1927. It remains as a sub-circular scarped area measuring 3.7 metres across, with no gravemarkers visible. The absence of markers and the disused label suggest a forgotten place where local families may have laid infants to rest before records kept their names.

Situated immediately SW of a field boundary, in pasture on a steep E-facing slope. Named as Kylenanny Burial Ground on the 1840 OS map and as 'Kylenanny Burial Gd. (Disused)' on the 1927 OS map. Now evident as a sub-circular area (diam. 3.7m) defined from E to SW by a scarped edge (Wth 2.1m; H 0.3m). No evident of any gravemarkers apparent.
