What is recorded here

Caltragh is a children's burial ground inside an early medieval rath at Tintagh, County Roscommon. Its name preserves that function even though the stones recorded during the Ordnance Survey have vanished into the earth. The rath gave the place its boundary, while sorrow gave it its purpose.

On a gentle E-facing slope within ecclesiastical enclosure (RO014-047003-). It consists of a small rectangular stone-lined grave (int. dims 1.2m N-S; 0.8m E-W) with other stones extending from it to the W. A small Latin cross (RO015-047006-) is associated with it.
