What is recorded here

Children's burial ground in Mullaghmore (carbury By.) is a children's burial ground in Mullaghmore (carbury By.), County Sligo, Ireland. Known locally as Kilnamucktán, the site hides within grass-covered sandhills where shifting sands obscure its boundaries. A roughly circular area measuring about thirty metres appeared scarped on the southwest side during a 1994 inspection, yet no wall or burial evidence remained visible.

In grass-covered sandhills. Not marked on any edition of1837 or 1912 OS 6-inch maps. This is the approximate location of a children's burial ground. It is known locally as Kilnamucktán, and is difficult to find due to shifting sands, although a field wall has been noted at the NE of the area (pers. comm. M.A. Timoney 19/04/1989). An inspection in 1994 found a roughly circular area (max. dim. c. 30m) which appeared to have been scarped or quarried on the SW side, but there was no trace of a wall and no evidence to confirm that this was the location of the burial ground.
