What is recorded here

In a rath (MA039-030001). In the SMR (1991) and the RMP (1997) a children’s burial ground is listed at his location, the source of information being a reference in Aldridge (1969, 85): ‘In Breaghwy (Mayo 39) the rath marked has been levelled except for the northern portion cut off by a fence; this remains as a CBG.’ This rath (MA039-030001-), which is fully intact, does not match Aldridge’s description. This would suggest that an error was made by the SMR, and that this rath is not the location of the children’s burial ground recorded by Aldridge.
