  In undulating pasture. Rectangular area (19m N-S; 28.7m E-W) defined to N by straight E-W field boundary and to E, S and W by scarped edge (max. H 0.7m) with rounded corners to SE and SW. Mid-way along S scarp are two recumbent slabs (L c. 0.445m; Wth c. 0.25m; H c. 0.35m). Interior is uneven and stony, covered with tall grass and brambles. Just N-of-centre is hollow area (3.15m N-S; 2.7m E-W) lined irregularly by low upright slabs, with concentration of loose stones at N end, and at NE corner upright stone (H 0.46m; Wth 0.35m) with pointed top. Between latter and scarped edge to W is another setting of low slabs roughly-defining rectangular area (c. 1m N-S; c. 0.6m E-W). Described by Begley (1906, 109-10) as 'may be the place now called Dromagarrum, where unbaptized children are buried. This site may be that referred to by Lewis (1837, 664) as 'remains of a very ancient church (LI018-015001-) ... at Flean'.

• LI018-015002 Church
  Description

  Possible church in Bealachdroma or Ballaghdromar which according to Begley (1906-109-110) was mentioned 'in the inquisition of 1298 as belonging to the manor of Shanid, and inhabited solely by Irish, which would indicate that it was a large tract lying between Ballyhahill and Athea, and may be the place now called Dromagarrum, where unbaptized children are buried (LI018-015001-). The site of another old church is pointed out in the townland of Flean where, tradition alleges, three bishops are buried. Referred to by Lewis (1837, 664) as in the parish of Glin are 'at Flean, in the mountains are the remains of a very ancient church of which the history is unknown'. The site of this possible church is probably the children's burial ground (LI018-015001-) in this townland.
