What is recorded here

Killurin holds a children's burial ground beside ruined church walls and a worn bullaun stone. The ordinary graveyard closed in the mid-19th century, after which unbaptised children were laid to rest on that slight rise. The castle and marked graves have vanished from the surface, leaving only the church stones and the memory of babies excluded from common death.

Situated on a slight rise in an area of undulating countryside with good views. Poorly preserved ruins of a rectangular church (OF024-022001-). Bullaun stone (OF024-022002-) located at W end of church. No surface trace of earthworks (OF024-022003-) depicted on OS 6-inch map to E and S of church. According to Comerford (1883, 196-7) there was a burial ground (OF024-022005-) located here which was abandoned in the mid-19th-century and was used subsequently as a burial place for unbaptised children with castle (OF024-055) located nearby. No surface trace of any burial ground or castle survives. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
