The National Monuments Service's description
According to the Rev. W. Ferris (d. 1971), unbaptised children were said to have been buried in a rath (KE060-026001-) in Jerimiah G. Moynihan's land (WFP). Its precise location is not known. According to Dennehy (1997, 153), there is no acknowledged local memory of a 'ceallúnach' in this area.
