What is recorded here

Death came swiftly in that remote valley, robbing infants of baptism and forcing grieving parents into a separate burial ground beside the old church. The Seipilin still marks that painful division, preserving children who never received the last rites.

Folklore collected from Glenderry School recorded the following tradition about a children’s burial ground beside Glandahalin church; ‘There are three grave yards in our parish, one in Keel [KE013-023003-], one in north of Ballyheigue village, and the other in Glendahillon. There are the relics of an old church [KE014-001----] in Glendahillon; it is now called the "Seipilín" and the unbaptised children are buried there’ (The Schools’ Collection, Volume 0417C, Page 02_030; https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/5236104/5232597/5236972?ChapterID=5236104).
