• CO032-038001 Burial ground
  Description

  Shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map as rectangular field (c. 45m ENE-WSW; c. 55m SSE-NNW) named 'Old Burial Ground'; field shown on 1905 and 1936 OS 6-inch maps but not named.

Possibly the same burial ground as that mentioned by Grove White (1905-25, vol. 1, 128) 'At Kilgoban is a rath used from time immemorial as a burial place for stillborn children'.
