What is recorded here

Childrens Burial Gd (Disused) is a raised circular pasture in County Cork, Ireland, marked for child burial on the 1842 OS map. The 12m by 10m mound stands 1.3m high with many grave markers still visible, testifying to families who trusted this ground with their youngest. Disuse has not erased the shape; the scarp and markers keep the boundary clear beneath open sky.
