What is recorded here

Death followed the children in Corralea before anyone could name the cause. The family stopped asking questions and stopped taking them out of the house. They carried the dead to the field south of the rath, cut shallow pits, and buried them before dusk. The adults lived on, but they never laughed loudly or ran in the yard again.

Within a ringfort (GA030-046----). All that survives of the CBG are several small grave-markers which have been cast into the field S of the rath. The landowner had intended to level the rath but left it when he was made aware of the fact that it contained a CBG.

A children's burial ground, likely medieval in date, associated with a ringfort; its significance lies in the rare survival of small grave-markers and its potential to provide insights into local burial practices and community structure.
