What is recorded here

Infants Burial Ground is a small rectangular area near the south shore of Loch Ceapach Chuais where children were laid to rest until about 1935. Twisted rowan and holly trees mark its edges, while small set boulders dot the ground like forgotten prayers. The lake touches three sides, keeping the place half-hidden and half-present, as if the water still remembers every name spoken there.

Close to S shore of Loch Ceapach Chuais. A small roughly rectangular area (L c. 20m, Wth 18m) defined by a modern field wall on W, lake shore on N and NE, and by traces of an earthen bank at E. Many small set boulders are visible and there are twisted rowan and holly trees around the perimeter. According to local tradition, it was used for burial up to c. 1935.
