Site of Killacarrigeen Burial Ground — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Killacarrigeen Burial Ground was a children's burial place cut into a limestone rock near Doon, County Limerick, before quarrying removed the ground entirely. The 1840 Ordnance Survey called it Kyle a Chorrigeen and said children had been interred there in the past, while the 1927 map still marked the vanished site inside the quarry. Whatever markers, prayers or small griefs belonged there were torn out with the stone, leaving only the name and the shape of the loss.

Situated in a disused quarry. Indicated on the 1927 OS 6-inch map as 'Killacarrigeen Burial Ground (site of)', located in a quarry. There is no evident trace of the burial ground and the area it occupied has been quarried away. In 1840 the Ordnance Survey described 'Kyle a Chorrigeen' as following; 'There is a limestone rock, about 4 chains [80m] in diameter, in which children were interred in the past; but this practice appears to have been abandoned. There is a Trigl. Station on it at present' (OSNB Doon Parish, 593). Compiled by: Denis Power Revised by: Caimin O'Brien Date of revised upload: 24 September 2020
