What is recorded here

Kilgreana holds a tree-lined circular burial ground where tradition says abortive children were buried, transforming an older fort into a chamber for losses too small for ordinary history. The ground still breathes through pasture and boundary lines, keeping the namesless young close to the living rather than erased.

Possible ringfort (LI049-082----) reused as a children's burial ground (LI049-082001-), in reclaimed pasture, 40m E of townland boundary with Curraghroche. In 1840 the Ordnance Survey recorded that this was ‘a fort in which tradition says abortive children were buried' (OSNB Doon to Kilbreedy, 200). Monument visible as a tree lined circular-shaped area, intersected at NE, SW and NW by field boundaries on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages.
