What is recorded here

Under Jerimiah G. Moynihan's land in Bawnard, a forgotten rath holds the smallest buried lives. Children died young there, their bodies given to the earth while the fort kept its shape in the dark. The exact spot has been lost, but the field still remembers the weight of that tender grief.

Rev. W. Ferris (d. 1971) recorded a rath, which was used as a children's burial ground (KE060-026002-), in Jerimiah G. Moynihan's land (WFP). It has not been precisely located.
