- KE093-024 Children's burial ground
Description
In pasture, on a NW facing slope overlooking Kenmare Bay to the W. A rectangular area (22m N-S; 14m E-W) enclosed by recent field boundaries and wire fencing. The interior is heavily overgrown and littered with plant debris. Low burial mounds and a small number of low upright stones are perceptible under the debris. According to Dennehy (1997, 163), this burial ground 'has not been used for over one hundred years'. According to the landowner, it was 'a burial ground for unbaptised children and possibly adults' (ibid.). 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

Four pointed cutwaters on upstream side rise to the height of the arches. Corbels at springing points under arches. Two segmental overflow arches on floodplain to the W and one to the E. According to Lansdowne estate documents it was built in 1777 (Lansdowne 1937, 148). Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.
