What is recorded here

Clashaganny holds a children's burial ground within the south half of an old ringfort, where grassed-over limestone markers still align beneath the soil. Local memory places the burials about fifty-five years ago, suggesting the ringfort continued serving life and death long after its martial purpose faded. The boundary mixes a low stone wall, the ringfort bank and a Land Commission field bank, as if several eras agreed to enclose the same small area.

Within S half of a ringfort (GA016-036----). An irregularly shaped are (N-S 11m, NE-SW 9.5m) which appears to be enclosed from N to SE by a low stone wall; from SE to SW the ringfort bank forms the enclosing element, and from SW to N a Land commission earthen field bank. Numerous grassed-over limestone grave-markers, aligned NE-SW, are visible. According to local information, burials took place here c. 55 years ago.
