Children's burial ground in Coolcronaun

Children's burial ground

What is recorded here

Coolcronaun holds a children's burial ground, a rare admission that the land remembers its smallest victims. The official record offers no date, no name and no story, only a category that forces the tragedy into view. That vacancy is not a failure; it is a shape you can enter. The missing child becomes a question instead of a forgotten fact, and the land stops being a file.
The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV). Currently the information for this record has not been uploaded. To access available information for research purposes please make an appointment in advance with the Archive Unit (open Fridays 10.00 am – 5.00 pm), Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, The Custom House, Dublin 1 D01W6XO or email NMarchive@housing.gov.ie.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
