What is recorded here

Under grass in County Antrim, workhouse burial grounds hold people the state stopped naming. Nineteenth-century hunger and discipline drove bodies into park soil, while officials preferred not to remember them. The ground still holds that refusal, waiting for someone to stop calling it empty.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Workhouse Burial Grounds. Recorded period: C19TH. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

C19th burial grounds associated with workhouse institutions; reflect social and historical conditions of poverty and public welfare in the 19th century.

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