What is recorded here

Clochar na bPáistí marks a children's burial ground on the west side of the road near Leitir Mealláin. Roadworks have scarred the site, hiding most markers from casual view. The loss is not abstraction; it is a local warning that even small graves need protection.

On W side of road c. 400m N of the bridge to Leitir Mealláin. Known locally as Clochar na bPáistí, it has been damaged by roadworks and is difficult to make out (info. T. Robinson). Not visited.
