## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- CL012-003: Children's burial ground, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL012-003----. Midway down a W-facing slope in pasture, overlooking marshy land and a stream c. 100m to the W. Recorded as a dashed subcircular area (diams. c. 22m NE-SW; c. 18m NW-SE) partially defined by a later field boundary SE-S-SSW and named ‘Derreendooagh Grave Yard’ on the first edition (1842) of the OS 6-inch map. However, on the later OS 25-inch plan (1897) and Cassini edition (1920) of the OS 6-inch map it is named ‘Derreendooagh Burial Ground for Children’ and indicated as a subrectangular area (L c. 22m NNW-SSE; Wth c. 18m ENE-WSW), partially defined by a later field boundary along the S. Listed as ‘Burial ground’ in the RMP (1996). This D-shaped children’s burial ground (21.5m NNW-SSE; 18.2m ENE-WSW) is defined on the E by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.6m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 01.5m) with internal collapse (Wth 4.5m combined with bank), and by a field wall (Wth 1.6m at base; int. H 0.8; ext. H 1.4m) on the straight S side. The enclosing element on the W was not traceable at the time of a visit in 1999, due to overgrowth. However, headstones within the burial ground could be seen to extend as far W as a modern fence which encloses the site. According to local information, this fence was built as part of a FÁS scheme c. 1991/1992. It also runs c. 2.5m outside the bank on the E. The burial ground is accessed by an iron gate between stone gate-posts on the N side and said to have been installed c. 1980. Small gravemarkers (av. H 0.2-0.4m; max. H 0.6m) are found throughout the W-sloping interior, with no discernible pattern or predominant orientation except for a N-S running line (L c. 9m) of contiguous stones (erect, fallen and of varying orientations) in the centre of the burial ground. Three inscribed graveslabs were noted: one (commemorating Tommy Broderick, dated 1919) under an oak tree in the S centre; a second (commemorating Martin Murray, dated 1982) in a small suboval enclosure (int. dims. 6.50m NW-SE; 4.7m SW-NE) just inside the gate, defined at SE-NNW by a bank (Wth 1.1-1.2m) with a narrow gap at the SE; and a third (inscribed ‘Keane’, no date) leaning against the inner face of the burial ground’s S wall.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
