What is recorded here
Kill Burial Ground for Children stands in a Cork pasture, a rectangular patch guarded by a low stone wall. The 1842 survey named it plainly, and grave markers still cluster along its western edge. It is a brutal clarity: a separate place for the smallest lives, marked without decoration but remembered without hesitation.
Marked 'Kill Burial Ground for Children' on OS 6-inch map (1842). In pasture. Rectangular area enclosed by low stone wall. Many grave markers noted, especially to W.
