What is recorded here

In flat pastureland overlooking Brandy Harbour and the Athlantic sea to the WNW. McCaffrey (1952, 197, no. 35) records that local people claimed that they found 'human remains' while building houses in the vicinity of a church (GA103-135001-). The 'Killeen' element of the name suggests that it may have been a children's burial ground. No visible surface trace survives.
