Description
At a children’s burial ground (MA048-057002-) located on a headland on the SE shoreline of Lough Con. This church is recorded in the 1838 OS Letters as follows: 'In Runakilleen townland there was formerly a little church called Cillín Cormaic - Cellula Cormaci, of which it is said no portion remains at present. There is still a burying place for children there. Runakilleen –Ruan A Cillín, signifies the point of the little church, i.e. a point of land on which a little church stood, whence the name of the townland’ (O’Flanagan 1927, 27 (12)).

- MA048-057002 Children's burial ground
Description
Located on a headland on the SE shoreline of Lough Con. This children’s burial ground is indicted on the 1838 and 1922 OS 6-inch maps as a subrectangular enclosed area (c. 50m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE) bordered at S by the lakeshore. It is named ‘Killeencormac Grave Yard’ on the 1838 map and ‘Rinnakilleen’ on the later edition, and is recorded in the 1838 OS Letters (O’Flanagan 1927, 27 (12)) as ‘a burying place for children’ and as the site of a church (MA048-057001-). An inspection in 1996 found that the location had been covered with large boulders during land reclamation works. According to local information it originally consisted of a circular area defined by a series of low upright stones. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 16 March 2018
