According to local information a 'cillíneach' or children's burial ground was located in the townland of Foilakilly (ITM coordinates 485937, 542804). Archaeological investigations undertaken at the site in 2016 (licence number 16E0583) established that this was the location of a 19th century settlement. Nothing in the grounds of this small settlement indicated that it had once been used for burial purposes (Harte 2016, 17). In consequence and pending further evidence the precise location of this possible burial ground must remain unknown. (Ronan et al. 2009, no. 16,952)

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
