Childrens Burial Gd (Disused) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Children's graves in County Cork, marked on the 1842 map, still hold small markers under rough grazing. A low scarp and field fence define the oval, but the children remain nameless in the public record. They may have belonged to a nearby farm, a passing family, or a forgotten parish. The grass grows over them now, yet the boundary survives because someone drew it before the names were lost.

Marked 'Children's Burial Ground' on OS 6-inch map (1842). In rough grazing. Subcircular area (22m E-W) defined by low scarp to E and field fence to W. Grave markers noted. 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
