Children's burial ground in Lockstown Lower

Situated on a gentle W-facing slope on the side of a low ridge with higher ground to the S and SE. Rectangular enclosure (dims. 13.7m N-S; 12.4m E-W) defined by a wall (H 0.5m) of upright granite slabs. The interior is higher (H 0.2-0.4m) than the surrounding ground level. There are no indications of graves but there is a large earthfast boulder in the centre with a small cairn (diam. 2m) beside it. A simple granite cross (WI016-003001-) with the top broken and one arm missing rests against the boulder. Compiled by: Matt Kelleher Date of upload: 11 January 2013
