What is recorded here
Marianne pressed her palm to the cold soil and imagined the buried crowd beneath. A workhouse or epidemic pit from the nineteenth century in County Down, it holds forgotten bodies and unfinished grief. The land remembers what ledgers forgot.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as 19th-century grave pit (workhouse/ epidemic). Recorded period: C19TH. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
