What is recorded here

Childrens Bur Gd is a disused burial ground in County Cork, Ireland. It is a subrectangular area, fifteen metres north-south and seven metres east-west, enclosed by a low earthen bank with a west gap. An east-west bank divides the interior into two, and scattered grave markers still mark the ground. The name suggests children, yet no child is named in the facts. The shape is small enough to walk around in a minute, but the division inside gives it the tone of a place set apart.

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
