Killeen Burial Ground (KE064-014001-): A modern burial-area occupies the central area of the enclosure and is bounded by numerous uninscribed grave-markers to W and S. These average .15m high and .18m wide. Also occurring within the site is a cross-inscribed slab and a boulder which is locally referred to as a mass-rock.
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 923. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
