What is recorded here
Kill Burial Gd (Childrens) is a rectangular burial ground in County Cork, Ireland, measuring 18m north-south and 15.5m east-west. It sits in tillage, defined by a 0.6m scarp, with many grave markers still visible. A cross-slab marks the northwest quadrant, anchoring the site in local memory. Children’s deaths once filled this ground, their small lives recorded in stone and soil. The platform remains, holding what was lost and remembered.
