What is recorded here

Hartnett (1939, 234) noted oval area (c. 60m E-W; c. 50m N-S), enclosed by field fence SW->SE, 'slight ridge' SE->SW. He was informed locally that it was 'an old burial ground for children and ill-luck followed any person who tilled or in any way interfered with it'. Area remains unploughed and as described by Hartnett. No evidence of burials but uneven ground surface noted.
