Children's burial ground in Lowpark

Children's burial ground

What is recorded here

Lowpark is a children's burial ground. The story claims that infants and young people were laid to rest within the ancient earthworks until the nineteenth century, yet no grave markers remain for the living to find. The soil swallowed every name and shape, leaving behind a quiet emptiness that feels heavier than stone.
According to local tradition, the interior of the rath was used as a children’s burial ground, at least until the end of the 19th-century. There are no visible remains of graves. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 12 January 2017
