What is recorded here
Kill Burial Gd for Children is a lost burial ground in West Cork, hidden beneath pasture with no visible trace. It is called a child burial ground, a name that turns the quiet grass into a room of small ghosts and unfinished games. The land may still hold the shape of young lives, waiting for someone to listen before the wind erases the last mark.
In pasture. No visible surface trace.
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.
