Killoran Grave Yard

Children's burial ground

What is recorded here

Killoran Grave Yard holds five rows of small uninscribed markers inside a low stony bank, a children's burial ground set within a larger ecclesiastical enclosure. The stones have fallen and grass has claimed them, yet the narrow rectangle still separates young deaths from the wider churchyard. That boundary suggests local people once believed children needed their own quiet corner, even when adulthood and memory blurred.
Within the SE quadrant of an ecclesiastical enclosure (GA101-018----). This subrectangular burial ground (E-W 14m; 10m N-S) is delimited by a wide low stony bank (max. Wth 4m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.5m) along the W and N sides but is unenclosed elsewhere. The interior contains five N-S running rows of small uninscribed grave-markers; many have fallen and are grass covered.
