A single headstone marks the location of a children’s burial ground known as the ‘reiligín’ (a little burial ground). According to local information ‘There was a graveyard on the island, . . . There is one headstone on it to a child, and it was suppoed to be some child who took ill on a passing boat and they pulled inot the island and she died. The graveyard was mostly for burying children.’ (Gosling et al. 2010, 142). The inscription on the headstone reads: JHS / Erected in Memory of / Eliza Murphy Who died / April the 8th AD 1827 / aged 17 Months. / P: Whyte Sculptur (ibid., 140).
