Workhouse Burial Grounds in Malone Lower

Workhouse Burial Grounds

What is recorded here

Malone Lower holds workhouse burial grounds from the nineteenth century, marked only by a central point on an official map. The absence of a visible monument does not diminish the dead; it redirects attention to the hidden labour of forgetting. Anyone standing there should remember that maps often erase more than they reveal.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Workhouse Burial Grounds. Recorded period: C19TH. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
19th-century burial ground associated with the workhouse system; reflects social and historical conditions of poverty and public welfare in Northern Ireland.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
