What is recorded here
Corcormick holds a circular grass chamber on a drumlin, enclosing a church and a children’s burial ground within a low earthen bank. Much of that boundary has faded into ordinary field edges, yet the shape still resists forgetting. The land has been changed, reduced and reused, but it still sets these lives apart from the surrounding soil.
Situated on top of a drumlin. The church (LE016-016001-) is within a grass-covered subcircular enclosure (diam. c. 42m N-S; c. 40m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.6-3m; H 0.5-0.8m) which is incorporated into a field bank NW-NE and removed SSE-SW. Two old field banks run W from the church to the perimeter of the enclosure, but there is no evidence of burial other than the children’s burial ground (LE016-016003-).
