Site of possible Paupers/Famine Burial Ground

What is recorded here

Killynure in County Fermanagh, Ireland, may conceal a pauper or famine burial ground from the eighteenth or nineteenth century. The land holds a dangerous quiet, waiting for bodies never named or counted. What is missing is not emptiness but a debt the soil still carries.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Site of possible Paupers/Famine Burial Ground. Recorded period: C19TH. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
A 19th-century paupers' or Famine burial ground; significant as a potential site reflecting social and economic conditions during the Irish Famine period.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
