What is recorded here

Ardcanaght is a hill of tribute where unbaptised children were buried outside Church rites. The killeen still shows as a raised rectangle on the pasture slope, its edge marked by an old field boundary. Families brought their lost infants to this liminal ground because the earth itself held a different kind of sanctity.
Killeen Old Burial Ground is recorded as a archaeological place in County Kerry. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
