Children's burial ground

What is recorded here

Doros is a children's burial ground inside a rath in County Galway, Ireland. Local information says it remained in use until the 1940s, yet no trace is left on the surface. The interior is featureless, as if the earth absorbed every marker and kept the children close beneath its quiet skin.
According to local information, there is a children's burial ground in the interior of the rath (GA132-012----) and it was in use up to the 1940s. No visible surface trace survives; the interior of the rath is featureless. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 11 December 2017
