What is recorded here
Two years old, the child lived before the stone marked the grave. That much is certain. Whether the boy or girl belonged to the church, the rath, or a family that moved through Grange before either name existed, the earth has not said. It only kept the small body and waited for people clever enough to carve the age but unable to carve the name.
Within the NW quadrant of a rath (GA085-011----). This roughly D-shaped area (20.5m N-S; 9m E-W) is delimited by the bank of the rath at W and by the line of a possible Man-made underground passage (GA085-011002-) at E. Within the interior numerous small set limestone slabs indicate burials aligned E-W.
