Children's burial ground in Ballymorris (bantry By.)

Located on the NE-facing slope of a NE-SW ridge overlooking a slight col c. 200m to the NE with slightly higher ground further to the NE. A small grass-covered cairn of stones including quartz stones (dims 6m x 4m; H 1m) was used as a children's burial ground according to a local tradition. It is known locally as Chrishavale - Chrish being derived from the Irish for cross, but the rest is obscure. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 31 August, 2012
