What is recorded here

Within the W half of the interior of a rath (GA098-020----). This children's burial ground is defined by a very poorly preserved L-shaped unenclosed area within which numerous set stones indicate graves aligned E-W. A circular depression in the centre of the rath is probably the result of quarrying and it has encroached upon the burial ground at E.
