What is recorded here

According to the OS Letters (1840) 'It is said that Kilparteen (Cill Feartín) took its name from a burial ground for children situated in it. It is said to be still in existence' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol.3, 23). Children's burial ground is unlocated within the townland.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
