What is recorded here
Kilnabasty Children's Burial Ground and the new circular bank may form one continuous chamber where infant ghosts still dance beneath the rough pasture. The western edge of that large field holds a low rim of earth, perhaps drawn around a house, a hearth or a child's last breath. Sheep walk across the joined curve without knowing they graze a threshold between living fields and forgotten rooms.
This enclosure was discovered in 2007 in the course of a survey of this area. It is situated in rough pastureland at the W edge of a large field immediately N of Kilnabasty Children's Burial Ground (GA105-184----) and possibly conjoined with it. It is defined by a low circular bank (O'Sullivan 2009, 18, 20, Fig. 2).
