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

- CL035-130: Children's burial ground, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL035-130----. On an elevated area of a low knoll, in dense impenetrable vegetation, surrounded by low lying and gently undulating pasture and woodland. Depicted on the 1840 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a subrectangular area and named ‘Parknakilla Grave Yard for Children’. It retains a similar outline and is named ‘Children’s Burial Ground’ on the OS 25-inch map and 1921 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This was not accessible due to dense, impenetrable overgrowth on and around the monument. There is a natural plateau in the pasture field to the immediate NE. A field boundary (long axis NW-SE) respects the children’s burial ground NNW-NE, where it projects outwards, as depicted on OS historic mapping. According to Curry in 1839 (OSL, vol. 2, 305), Park-na-kille was the name of this field and in Irish, the townland name is Maidhm-Talmhan. This placename refers to a massacre or in this case, perhaps a mass burial associated with a famine. The following image has been uploaded: CL035-130----_01.jpg From E.

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.
