What is recorded here

In grass-covered sandhills. Not marked on any edition of1837 or 1912 OS 6-inch maps. This is the approximate location of a children's burial ground. It is known locally as Kilnamucktán, and is difficult to find due to shifting sands, although a field wall has been noted at the NE of the area (pers. comm. M.A. Timoney 19/04/1989). An inspection in 1994 found a roughly circular area (max. dim. c. 30m) which appeared to have been scarped or quarried on the SW side, but there was no trace of a wall and no evidence to confirm that this was the location of the burial ground.
