What is recorded here

Killhanna Burial Ground for Children appears on the 1842 Ordnance Survey map, marking a rectangular patch of level pasture where random stones may still hide young graves. A standing stone watches from the northeast angle while trees outline the boundary, suggesting the earth kept its promise long after formal use stopped. The place remains a quiet witness to local memory rather than a forgotten vacancy.
