What is recorded here
O'Donovan claimed a hidden place held the children and strangers, or the story is a memory invented, but the claim is not empty. That is why the story should still be told.
According to O'Donovan (OSL vol. 2, 2) 'there was a burial place for un-baptised infants and strangers in Milltown Townland, but its site can scarcely be traced now.' Exact location of site not known.
