What is recorded here

Children's Burial Ground in Drommartin, County Kerry, appears on the 1841-42 and 1916 OS maps, but the field corner has been completely ploughed out. The loss is not abstract: a quarry now lies immediately east of the place where children were set to rest. What remains is a gap in the land, marked only by name and memory.
