What is recorded here

Caltragh is a graveyard in Corraree AND Ballygatta, County Roscommon, Ireland. The name derives from the Irish word caltrach, a term associated with children's burial grounds, and the site sits within the bank of an old rath, a circular earthen enclosure from the early medieval period. During the Ordnance Survey of the 1820s and 1830s, stones were still visible inside the eastern bank, marking the ground as a cillín, but those stones have since disappeared into the earth.

The burial ground at Cloonoghil church (RO051-061001-) is a rectangular platform (dims 35.7m NNE-SSW; 23.8m WNW-ESE; H 0.5-1.4m) NE of the church with uninscribed grave-markers, which is locally regarded as a childrens burial ground (RO051-061003-) (Gannon 1972).
