There is a local tradition that Kilcasheen graveyard (CL065-026----) was used as a children’s burial ground. P. Waldron (http://pwaldron.info/Kilcasheen) lists several family names of mostly unbaptised children that were buried there. A cluster of uninscribed simple gravemarkers cover an area c. 12m NE-SW by c. 7m NW-SE just to the N of the possible church (CL065-026002-) that lies within the graveyard and some simple gravemarkers lie within the possible church itself. The graveyard was in disuse by 1739 but was used for burial during the famine of 1740-41 and some burial continued into the 20th century (ibid.).
