Children's burial ground in Dunmurraghill

Children's burial ground

What is recorded here

Marianum, an abandoned priory hidden beside a live church in Dunmurraghill, keeps a children's graveyard beneath a name meaning little stones. No marker breaks the grass, yet the place still sorts itself into adult faith and child loss. Forgetting the name destroys the graveyard; remembering it returns the dead children to the world.
Describing a graveyard (KD009-011002-) associated with a church (KD009-011001-), the OSL (Herity 2005, 25) recorded that, 'It was called Reilicin.', a name which suggests a possible children's burial ground, but no burial markers are visible.
