In pasture, on a S-facing slope, with views S to The Paps of Dana. A raised rectangular area (18m E-W; 12m N-S), overgrown with bushes and briars, which according to local information was used for the burial of unbaptised babies during the famine times. Some stones, which may be grave-markers, were noted on the uneven surface of the raised area. It is named 'Children's Burial Ground' on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. This is the children's burial ground which was recorded in the 1940s in 'Páirc an tSéipéil' in Houlihan's land (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). A possible church (KE068-004004-) exists in the same field. A rath (KE068-103----) lies c. 90m to the NNE.
