What is recorded here

Mullacash mass-bush marks the site of a penal mass station which stands inside a natural hollow creating an amphitheatre like setting. The mass bush and hollow are clearly visible on Digital Globe aerial photographs. According to local tradition the mass bush marks the site of a children's burial ground (KD024-068001-) (Gibson 1990, 62).
