What is recorded here

Faheen is a children's burial ground in Colligan More, County Waterford, Ireland. The first edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map marked the site as a small oval enclosure roughly thirty metres east-west and fifteen metres north-south. Power's 1952 account recorded the pasture setting on an east-facing slope and stated that the burial ground was not visible at ground level during that survey.

Marked as a small oval enclosure (dims. c. 30m E-W; c. 15m N-S) and denoted 'Faheen' on the 1st ed. of the OS 6-inch map, it is reputedly the site of a children's burial ground (Power 1952, 121). Situated in pasture on an E-facing slope, it is not visible at ground level. Power, Rev. P. (1952) The placenames of the Decies. (second ed.) Cork University Press.
