Recorded monuments

• KE067-078 Children's burial ground
  Description

  In pasture, with views S to Mangerton Mountain. A slightly raised (H c. 0.2m) D-shaped area (dims. 40m NNW-SSE) with a straight SE side (L 40m) is known locally as a 'cillín' and contains plain stone grave-markers (H c. 0.25m). The straight side is incorporated into a field boundary. This may be the 'burial ground for children' recorded in the N side of the townland in the 1840s (OSNB, Killarney, no. 1, 7).

• KE067-088 Field system
  Description

  In heavily overgrown rough pasture on the SW-facing slopes of a NW-SE ridge, with views S to Mangerton Mountain. An aerial photograph (OSAP 2123), taken in 1989, shows a field system covering a roughly square area (c. 300m NW-SE; c. 300m NE-SW). The remains of a partially collapsed curvilinear stone wall (av. T 0.65m; max. H 0.7m), which runs in a general SE-NW direction for c. 240m and then curves gradually to the SW for c. 100m, marks the NE boundary of the field system. At its NW end, traces of another wall which branches off to the SSW for c. 30m are evident. Roughly 50m to the SW of the SE-NW wall are further partially collapsed drystone walls (av. T 0.6m; max. H 1m), some of which are indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map, which enclose at least four roughly rectangular fields and three irregular fields, all obscured by dense overgrowth. Occasional traces of NE-SW cultivation ridges were noted in these fields. An enclosure (KE067-088001-) lies in the SW quadrant of the field system.
