What is recorded here

Children's burial ground in Ballylaffin is a children's burial ground in Ballylaffin, County Tipperary, Ireland. Power wrote in 1908 that the Hurling Green field held this burial ground, an early church site and a separate marker, while unbaptised children continued to be buried there until shortly before his account. The field remains identified, but the exact burial ground is still unlocated within Ballylaffin.
According to Power (1908, 70-71) within Ballylaffan townland there is a field called 'Faithche - "Hurling Green"; this is a field containing a cill, or early church site [TS087-039001-] and a burial ground three-fourths of an acre in area, in which unbaptised children continued to be buried till recently''. This burial ground is unlocated within the townland of Ballylaffan. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
