• KE101-011 Children's burial ground
  Description

  In rough pasture, on top of a knoll, on a ridge. A circular area (9m N-S; 8.5m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.5m) which is stone faced SW-NW. The interior is raised (H 0.3m) above the external ground level and contains low uninscribed stone slabs orientated N-S. Trees are growing on the perimeter. This may be the 'cilleanach' recorded in Clonee townland in the 1930s by Capt. D. B. O'Connell and which he had never seen used (KAS). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
