In the 1940s a children's burial ground (KE068-079001-) was recorded in Timothy Cronin's field, about a quarter of a mile from the cemetery (KE068-014----) (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). It was noted that this burial ground was considered by some people to be a fort though as it was described as 'a patch of ground 10 feet square' (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry), its dimensions are too small to be considered a rath. The possibility exists, however, that a portion of a rath was used for the burial of children. The precise location of the children's burial ground, and consequently that of the possible rath, is not known.
