What is recorded here

In a rath (KE109-011004-). An elevated rectangular area (12.75m N-S; 6.1m E-W; H 0.3m) enclosed by the lower courses of a stone and clay-mortar wall (T 0.8m; H 0.75m). Graves are marked by partially moss-covered uninscribed upright stone slabs orientated N-S. Deciduous trees shade the interior. A farm road curves around the burial ground at S and E. According to Dennehy (1997, 160), the area was used as a burial ground for unbaptised infants up to one hundred years ago. There is a souterrain (KE109-011003-) near the centre. 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. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
