What is recorded here
Children's Burial Ground in County Cork, Ireland, appears on the 1842 map as a subrectangular area now buried beneath tillage. The land holds forgotten children, their small bodies hidden under ploughed soil and time. No stone or marker remains, yet the boundary drawn by surveyors still points to the exact spot where innocence departed.
In tillage. Marked 'Children's Burial Ground' on OS 6-inch map (1842). Shown as subrectangular area on all three eds. of OS 6-inch map. No visible surface trace.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
