Childrens Burial Gd is a rectangular burial ground in County Cork, Ireland, enclosed by a one-metre stone wall and marked by graves on the east side. It stands in pasture, where children may have been laid to rest beneath open sky and grazing animals. The wall still holds the shape of that loss, while the grass above forgets the names beneath it.
In pasture. Rectangular area enclosed by stone wall (H 1m). Grave markers noted to E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
