What is recorded here

Three parallel lines of tall limestone slabs still stand inside a cashel in County Clare, marking a possible children's burial ground rather than an ordinary grave field. The stones are larger than usual child markers, suggesting they may have belonged to a forgotten structure before becoming a place of loss. A man-made underground passage lies nearby, inviting speculation that the site served more than one purpose across centuries.

Situated in the SE sector of the interior of a cashel (CL008-013001-), this possible children's burial ground comprises a circular area (diam. c. 9m) of rough ground and limestone rubble in which there are three parallel lines of upright limestone slabs (max. H 0.9m), oriented NW-SE. The lines are 1-1.4m apart. The slabs are larger than the grave-markers usually associated with a children’s burial ground suggesting they could also be the remains of a structure of some kind. There is a Man-made underground passage (CL008-013004-) immediately to the NW. Compiled by: Olive Alcock and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 23 August 2022
