What is recorded here

On the crest of an esker ridge, c. 100m to the NE of Rathgorgin Castle (GA096-151----). This children's burial ground consists of a roughly oval unenclosed area (16.6m E-W; 10.9m N-S) within which numerous small upright limestone slabs are visible. The top mullion stone (GA096-150001-) of a trefoil-headed window, most likely from the tower house, marks one particular grave.
