Children's burial ground in Baile An Bhúlaeraigh Theas

Children's burial ground

What is recorded here

Children's burial ground in Baile An Bhúlaeraigh Theas stands on the south slopes of Knockmoylemore, overlooking the broad valley around Trabeg. It was marked as a Calluragh burial ground, yet no graves or markers remain visible. The absence does not diminish the purpose; it invites imagination about the children, the losses and the care hidden beneath ordinary soil.
Lissawalla/Lios an Bhaile: Situated on the S slopes of Knockmoylemore, overlooking the broad valley that surrounds Trabeg. This site was marked on the OS maps as a 'Calluragh burial ground' (KE043-184002-) but there are no traces of any graves or grave-markers in the interior. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 316. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 6 August 2013
