What is recorded here

Childrens Burial Gd (Disused) is a small, overgrown burial ground on the south side of the Meelagh River in County Cork, Ireland. It measures about 24 metres north-south and 15 metres east-west, enclosed by low banks roughly 0.4 metres high, with the south end of the east bank rising to about 0.8 metres and becoming overgrown. Small grave markers are still visible among the vegetation, suggesting the place continued to be used and remembered long after it stopped being actively maintained.
