What is recorded here

Kishkeam Lower holds a buried child shrine on P. Casey's land, recorded by Bowman in 1934. The exact spot has vanished, but the intention remains sharp: a separate resting place for babies who never received baptism. That distinction turns the field into a chamber of unfinished ritual, where love and fear collided before the children entered the world.

Bowman (1934, 460) recorded burial ground for unbaptised children on P. Casey's land. Exact location not known. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000).
