What is recorded here

Under grass in County Antrim, workhouse burial grounds hold forgotten bodies from the C19TH. Children ran across them before they knew the truth, and adults walked past graves they could not afford to see. The park gives life back to the town while the dead give weight to the ground. Joy and grief share the same soil, and neither can be removed without losing the other.

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 ground associated with a workhouse; reflects social and historical conditions during the Victorian era. Its significance lies in its connection to poverty, public welfare, and burial practices in 19th-century Ireland.
