What is recorded here

Coomduff holds a children's burial ground where a single upright slab still stands inside a disturbed stony oval. The place belongs to the Iveragh peninsula and remembers the small bodies once laid there. Local information preserves the function even though the earth has shifted and the boundary has blurred.

The site measures 26.5m N-S x 18m E-W, and its stony interior is considerably disturbed. It was formerly used as a burial ground (KE080-006001-) (local information). An upright slab in the interior may relate to this period of use. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 659. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
