What is recorded here

According to the Rev. W. Ferris (d. 1971), unbaptised children were said to have been buried in a rath (KE060-026001-) in Jerimiah G. Moynihan's land (WFP). Its precise location is not known. According to Dennehy (1997, 153), there is no acknowledged local memory of a 'ceallúnach' in this area.

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.
