What is recorded here

Killanure Children's Burial Ground is a scrub-covered mound at the crest of a south-facing slope in County Clare, marked as such on the 1921 OS map. The subrectangular shape measures twenty metres east-west and thirteen north-south, with a field wall at the west and a scarp at the south. Some grave markers still show through the spoil. The name suggests these were children, though no record survives to confirm it. The mound holds what the land kept when people stopped naming the dead.

Situated at the crest of a S-facing slope. Named 'Killanure Children's Burial Ground' on the 1921 OS 6-inch map but listed as 'Burial Ground' in the RMP (1996). A subrectangular scrub-covered mound (c. 20m E-W; c. 13m N-S; H 1m at S) defined by a scarp at S, and a N-S field wall at W, but the perimeter elsewhere is obscured by spoil. Some grave-markers are visible. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 12 April 2017
