What is recorded here

Bracklaghboy holds a children's burial ground hidden beneath ordinary pasture, marked only by gentle domed rises that invite wondering rather than certainty. The field offers no stones or borders, yet the shape of the earth suggests small lives were laid to rest there before memory faded. Local tradition preserves the name cillin, keeping the place separate from common pasture even when the eye cannot distinguish a grave from a mound of soil.

In a pasture field marked by several gentle undulations and small domed rises. According to local information (SMR file), there is a ‘cillin’ or children’s burial ground at this location. A number of undulations are visible in the field, but no above ground structural evidence of a burial ground. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 30 June 2022
