What is recorded here

Kill B Gd (Children) (Disused) is a small rectangular burial ground on a west-facing slope above Traguman Bay in County Cork, Ireland. Marked for children on an 1842 map, it remains hidden under heavy overgrowth, yet local information says gravemarkers still lie within the field now called Kill field. The place keeps its sharp purpose intact: a separate resting ground for the youngest lives, set beside the bay where the land still drops toward water.
Marked 'Kill Burial Gd. for Children' on OS 6-inch map (1842). On W-facing slope overlooking Traguman Bay. Rectangular area (c. 16m NW-SE; c. 6m NE-SW) inaccessible due to heavy overgrowth. According to local information, gravemarkers within and field known as "Kill field". 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
