What is recorded here
Killeen is a children's burial ground in Carrow (donohill Par.), County Tipperary, Ireland. The site occupies an east-facing slope of rising ground in an upland undulating region with good views in all directions. A dashed line on the six-inch map delineates a roughly oval area measuring about 25 metres north-south and 40 metres northeast-southwest, although no surface remains of any monument are visible in that area today. Several large flagstones scattered in the field to the north of the hill may be the remains of the heap of stones possibly referenced in the Civil Survey.

Possibly referred to in the Civil Survey where there is a reference to “ye heape of stones called Laghtnegarough” (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 84). There are several large flagstones scattered in the field to the N of the hill which may be the remains of the aforementioned heap of stones.
