These quiet, often marginal plots occupied field corners, old ringforts, or the edges of townlands, and they carried a particular grief: the children buried in them were denied a place in the parish churchyard. This one has vanished entirely. A quarry now occupies the site, and nothing survives above ground to mark what was once there.

The place appears on the Ordnance Survey map of 1841 to 1842 under the name "Killeen Graveyard", the Anglicisation of cillín, and by the time the 1898 OS map was produced, the annotation had acquired a further note: "disused". So even before the quarry arrived, the site had already fallen out of use and, presumably, out of living memory for much of the surrounding community. The gap between those two map dates, roughly half a century, covers the period of the Famine and its aftermath, a time when entire communities in north Kerry were reshaped or scattered. Whether that disruption played any part in the site's abandonment is not recorded, but the timeline is difficult to ignore.
