What is recorded here

In a possible ecclesiastical enclosure (KE048-113001-), c. 10m inside the bank of the enclosure at S. A roughly rectangular raised area (14m N-S; 13m E-W; H 0.35m) containing low uninscribed stone grave-markers (H 0.2m) set intermittently throughout the area. In the 1940s it was recorded that unbaptized children were buried here and that the field was called 'Páirc na Cille' (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry), the name by which it is still known. There is an ogham stone (KE048-113003-) in the NW corner of the children's burial ground.
