In an ecclesiastical enclosure (KE102-019003-). Numerous low uninscribed grave-markers, orientated N-S, are evident in the NW half of the ecclesiastical enclosure. Some graves are evident as low grass-covered mounds. According to Dennehy (1997, 158), the majority of the grave-markers contain veins of quartz. Dennehy (ibid.) also noted an 'unusual box-like construction of boulders' in the NE quadrant of the burial ground. The area was last used as a burial ground for unbaptised infants one hundred years ago (ibid.). A souterrain (KE102-019004-) occurs within the burial ground and there is a church site (KE102-019001-) in the SE half of the ecclesiastical enclosure.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
