What is recorded here

Relig-an-Chaisill is a man-made underground passage in Cashel, County Armagh, later reused as a children's graveyard. The name preserves both origins: a hidden religious or ceremonial place beside a cased hollow, then a killen where small lives were laid to rest. The story is not a monster or a mistake. It is a place that changed use, kept its shape, and continued holding what people loved.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CASHEL; Man-made underground passage; reused as KILLEEN or children's graveyard: THE RELIG; RELIG-AN-CHAISILL. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
