    The concrete looks very bright and unstained - newly built when photographed?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Dubris it does, or very soon afterwards.

    "Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM) constructed a purification plant in Cromane in 1940 to facilitate direct entry of mussels to the U.K. market where stringent microbiological criteria now applied. BIM continued to export mussels until 1963 when a policy change forced it to adopt a purely advisory role in marketing. Local exporters continued to supply the U.K. with mussels, purified at the BIM facility, while three processing plants carried out cooking operations in Killorglin throughout the 1960s. ... ...

    Suck Diesel did someone say dog?

Is it a dog, is it a cat, is it a chicken in a hat?

    "THE COURTHOUSE.
    Todays Court House and Heritage Centre now stands where an original building was built in 1735 as a barracks to accommodate a half company of soldiers but was also used also as a Court House from these early days. In the early part of the 19th century a Revenue Office was opened here and then during the famine an overflow of 120 people from the Work House were housed in the upper third story of the building.
    During the same era General Sessions of the Peace were held in June and December and Petty Sessions the first Monday in every fortnight. A special court was also held every three weeks for the recovery of debts not exceeding ten pounds.
    The building was burned down during 1920 and rebuilt and opened again in 1927. ..."

    Patrick Comerford is interesting about the three-arched Market House (and cottages out of sight behind).

    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.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia I hope that is the place. It's good to think of the little graveyard being so close to a stone circle.
  • Suck Diesel said:
    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”
