What is recorded here
Under the Coleraine suburbs, workhouse graves wait beneath grass that has never been named. Poor children and exhausted parents may lie together where the city now builds its gardens. The ground keeps its quiet anger, remembering hands that dug holes faster than pride could be forgotten.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as WORKHOUSE 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 workhouse burial ground; significant as a reflection of social and public health history in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
