What is recorded here

Within the W half of a possible rath (GA101-020----). Very poorly preserved unenclosed oval area (13m N-S; 9m E-W) within which a number of small set stones indicate graves oriented E-W. The rath is named 'Killeen Fort' on the 1838 edition and 1945-6 revision of the OS 6-inch maps, suggesting that this is most likely a children's burial ground.
