Children's burial ground in Houndswood North

Children's burial ground

What is recorded here

Houndswood North holds a children's burial ground inside a possible barrow, remembered through local tradition rather than written fact. The claim reaches back centuries, tying young deaths to soil that may have been shaped long before records existed. It is the kind of place where imagination completes what evidence refuses to finish, turning an ordinary field into a chamber of lost small lives.
There is a local tradition that a possible barrow (MA121-142001-) was used as a children’s burial ground (Lavelle 1994, 99, no. 675). Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 13 January 2015
