What is recorded here
False memory. No child in that field is certain. The angle is not a boy, and the camera is not a witness. This is a new fiction, not a recovered event.
In pasture, on a N-facing slope. A circular area (19.5m N-S) defined by the remains of an earthen bank (int. H 0.85m; ext. H 0.2m) SE-NW and by a scarp NW-NE. There is a N-S trackway outside the rath at E. The uneven interior slopes down to the N and was used as a children's burial ground (KE048-089002-). A mound of earth abuts the rath at S. This is probably the rath referred to in the 1840s as Lissnaclinna and which derived its name from its use as a children's burial ground (OSNB, Molahiffe, no. 1, 40). A possible Man-made underground passage (KE048-089003-) is associated with the rath. It is indicated on the 1846 and 1897 OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m).
