A single headstone marks the location of a children’s burial ground known as the ‘reiligín’ (a little burial ground). According to local information ‘There was a graveyard on the island, . . .

The graveyard was mostly for burying children.’ (Gosling et al. 2010, 142). The inscription on the headstone reads: JHS / Erected in Memory of / Eliza Murphy Who died / April the 8th AD 1827 / aged 17 Months. / P: Whyte Sculptur (ibid., 140).

## Neighbouring townlands (National Statutory Boundaries, Tailte Éireann)

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.
