What is recorded here

In a rath (MA119-050----). According to local information, the rath was used for the burial of unbaptised babies. There is a dense concentration of low, uninscribed stone grave-markers in the E and SE of the rath interior, with some arranged in N−S or NE−SW rows, and a number of clustered arrangements of stones outline roughly square grave plots (max. dim. c. 7m). Fewer grave-markers are visible in the W half of the rath, but there are several small, grass-covered bumps which may be graves. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 23 August 2023
