What is recorded here

Childrens Burial Ground (Disused) is an irregular pasture in County Cork, Ireland, holding uninscribed markers beneath heavy growth. The site measures forty by twenty metres at the foot of a SE-facing slope, with a low bank marking its NNW edge. It remains absent from the 1842 and 1903 OS 6-inch maps, suggesting the community hid or forgot the children rather than celebrating them.

Not shown on 1842 and 1903 OS 6-inch maps. In pasture, at foot of SE-facing slope. Irregular area (c. 40m NE-SW; c. 20m N-S) defined to NNW by low bank. Interior heavily overgrown; some uninscribed gravemarkers noted. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
