What is recorded here
No visible trace remains, yet local memory places child burials inside the cashel at Castletaylor South. The absence of markers does not erase the possibility that small bodies once lay beneath ordinary soil. Forgetting the function of a place is easier than remembering the vulnerability it held.
According to local information, the interior of the cashel (GA104-281----) may have been used as a children's burial ground (SMR file). No visible surface trace of one exists.
