What is recorded here

The Caldragh sits on the shadowed edge of high ground, remembered as a children's burial place rather than recorded on official maps. That absence makes the story sharper: small lives were lost, buried and nearly forgotten, leaving no stones for later visitors to read. It is not a dramatic ruin but a quiet warning about how much can disappear when nobody writes it down.

Not marked on OS 1836 or 1876 eds. Situated on the SW shoulder of an area of high ground. Known locally as 'The Caldragh', this is believed to be the site of a children's burial ground (local information). No visible remains at ground level. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
