Children's burial ground

What is recorded here

Cill Columcille (Site of) is a children's burial ground in Cool (coshmore and Coshbride By.), County Waterford, Ireland. The 1923 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map marked the site in woodland on a steep north-west-facing slope above the Glenmore stream. A rectangular area measuring 18 metres east-west and 14 metres north-south uses a field bank on the north and east, with a 2-metre-wide, 0.5-metre-high stone bank on the south and west. Some interior stones may be grave-markers.
Marked 'Children's Burial Ground' only on the 1923 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated in woodland on a steep NW-facing slope overlooking the N-S Glenmore stream at a point where it turns W. This is a rectangular area (dims. 18m E-W; 14m N-S) defined by a field bank at N and E, and by a low stone bank (Wth 2m; H 0.5m) at S and W. Some stones in the interior may be grave-markers. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 December 2008
