From the ruin Caerkillan [about two miles from Ballyheabought] we were piloted by an old man across the fields, westward, towards a place where unbaptized children are buried. With scarcely any mark to date their early death, or even shew the spot of their interment, they are committed to the ground, unknown and unrecorded, around a rude cross about six feet in height, that stands nearly in the middle of the field, and is represented in the following sketch. The site is called Rin Connel burial ground; and from it we returned to Dingle, and after our long and fatiguing expedition, we were delighted to find our smiling landlady, and a good dinner ready to greet us.
