What is recorded here

Cillín (Site of), Childrens Bur. Gnd. (Disused) is a children's burial ground in Tober, County Waterford, Ireland. The 1999 Archaeological Inventory recorded a subcircular grass-covered area, 30 metres north-south and 28 metres east-west, defined by an earthen bank 3.5 metres wide and 1.5 metres high. It sits at the north edge of a plateau overlooking the Blackwater river valley, within a rath and abutting its bank to the south. The inventory noted no visible fosse or entrance, and although the OS Name Book recorded grave-markers and mounds there, they were no longer visible when the inventory was compiled.
