What is recorded here

Kilcloony in Dunmore By. holds a children's burial ground inside an old ringfort. Two unmarked graves remain, outlined only by flat stones and a few irregular rocks on the north-east bank. The site preserves a brutal truth about childhood loss long before written records, forcing visitors to imagine the small bodies and grieving families who placed those stones in dark earth.

All that survives is the rough outline of two unmarked graves defined by flat stones, and a few irregular stones on the bank at NE.
