What is recorded here

Carrownadurly holds a children's burial ground beside a turlough, where flat stones mark a small oval mound and dry stone walls enclose the place. The water below can vanish in summer and return in winter, like a breath drawn by the earth itself. Children may have been laid to rest there because the turlough felt alive, a fitting companion for young lives cut short.

At the bottom of a slight N-facing slope overlooking a turlough. Oval grass-covered mound (dims of base 5.8m N-S; 4.7m E-W; H 0.3m) with stones (dims c. 0.4m x c. 0.6m) laid flat on it. A drystone-built field walls circumvent the mound SE-W c. 10-12m distant. It is known locally to have been used as a Children's Burial Ground.
