What is recorded here

Childrens Burial Gd is a slightly raised pasture field in County Cork, Ireland, where a low earth and stone bank still marks the edge of a forgotten funeral place. The field is small enough to walk across in a breath, yet it holds the kind of loss that makes adults silent and children curious. One grave marker stands in the centre like a point of light in dark water, waiting for someone to remember the names it no longer speaks.

In pasture. Subrectangular, slightly raised area (14m E-W; 9m N-S) enclosed by low earth and stone bank. One grave marker in centre. 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
