What is recorded here
Killgarriff hides a children's burial ground inside a possible rath, where young lives ended before records or monuments could capture them. The earth keeps what human memory forgot, and the absence of visible graves makes the place both quieter and sharper.
In a possible rath (MA064-001001-). According to Aldridge (1969), the interior of this possible rath was used as children’s burial ground. No graves can be discerned at ground surface.
