cemetery

... Without knowing the national characteristics, it is difficult to say something for sure ... But if we proceed from the ritual monuments, the picture becomes more than understandable. Look, the Left and Right monuments are made of soft sedimentary material - travertine or dense shell rock. This is a local stone, most likely from a nearby quarry. The left monument was repeatedly dismantled and installed in its place. And they didn't do it professionally. There were additional burials here, but, let's say, there was no opportunity to use professional help. family members did all the work with his own hands. The right monument with a cross is a different story. It was clearly paid for and installed by another family member. This the man had money and taste. The monument itself was made and installed at a very high technical level. From choosing a higher stone quality without biological defects in the form of mold or fungus according to the manufacturing method and ornamental carving. This is quite a costly job both in terms of time and tools. ... And at this moment I myself do not understand ... Any master working with ritual stones, having seen such an order, would offer do ALL RATIONAL work throughout the burial. (so it was and will be at all times in any cemetery of this planet). Correct the position of the correct stone and set the left monument with a cross... The customer obviously refused such an offer. Why? Family feud or something... we won't know for sure the answer to that question...

Both stones appear in the transcript of the monuments at Ferrybank RC Cemetery without evidence of later burials. www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/waterford/photos/tombston...

Wolfe Tones grave at Bodenstown catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000355643

"Republicans, you have come here today to the tomb of Wolfe Tone on a pilgrimage of loyalty. By your presence you proclaim your undiminished attachment to the ideals of Tone, and your unaltered devotion to the cause for which he gave his life. It is your answer to those who would have it believed that the Republic of Ireland is dead and its cause abandoned." - de Valera, Bodenstown 1925

Trying to find a flickr shot, but many are NSFW with assorted dodgy characters in them.

At least they were marked, unlike the children’s graveyard in an industrial school or cess pit of a mothers and child home

About 150m South West from Kenmare Stone Circle there is "Killeen Burial Ground (disused)" marked on the 25" map. I wonder if this is the place ?

"... Dotted across the countryside around us, and throughout Ireland, are the loneliest places on earth. These are the cillíní – the children’s graveyards. A cill (kill) is a monk’s cell or church site, cillín (killeen) is the diminutive and cillíní (killeenee) is the plural: small churches. Ironically, the cillíní despite their names were usually non-church sites. They were burial grounds reserved for unbaptised children (those who died before they could be baptised or were perhaps born out of wedlock), pregnant women (because they were carrying unbaptised children), unrepentant murderers, suicides, shipwreck victims and strangers – anyone, in short, who was not ‘saved’ or whose baptismal status was ambiguous or unknown. They were used into the twentieth century. ... ..."

The days when limbo wasn't just a dance.

beachcomber australia I hope that is the place. It's good to think of the little graveyard being so close to a stone circle.

beachcomber australia This likely the correct place, on the bank of the River Finnihy (note spelling) as Killeen is derived from Cellini as you said.
“It appears that it has taken many years for Ireland to be no longer ashamed of Cillín, possibly facilitated and assisted by the passing of time since 1994 when the Catholic Church lifted the prohibition on unbaptised being buried in consecrated ground

The Schools Collection of the National Folklore Collection has many references to ‘Cillín’ and ‘Killeen’ which hopefully I will study in the coming weeks. The Irish Examiner noted in 2014 of some Cillíní being brought back and recognised by the community. It is reported that there are 1,444 Cillíní on the island of Ireland – my expectation would have been a significantly greater number”
