• MA119-009 Children's burial ground
  Description

  On a slight elevation in gently undulating pastureland. A small circular enclosure (diam. 12-15m) is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; a square enclosure outlined by a dashed line, and named ‘Children’s Burial ground’ is shown on the 1915 edition. Evident as a low subrectangular stony platform (overall dims. c. 10m NW−SE; c. 9-9.5m NE−SW) obscured by long grass, nettles and a stand of hawthorn and blackthorn bushes. The mound has a relatively flat top (diam. 7.7m NW−SE; 7.2m NE−SW). The sides consist of a low, dilapidated stony scarp (H 0.5-0.8m), best preserved on the SW side. It may originally have been kerbed or walled around the perimeter, reduced now to a rough edging of large stones and boulders. Many low stones protrude from the top of the platform; some of these may be gravemarkers but no clear pattern can be discerned. Some of the stones on top and around the perimeter of the mound appear to be loosely strewn and may be the result of field clearance. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 31st May 2023
