n 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 described as 'a patch of ground 10 feet square which is never tilled' in which unbabtized children, and occasionally adults, were buried (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). It was also noted in the 1940s that this burial ground was considered by some people to be a fort (see KE068-079----). The precise location of the children's burial ground is not known.
