• MA008-001001 Enclosure
  Description

  Located on a terrace on an E-facing slope, overlooking Lackan Bay, at the SE edge of the hamlet of Rathlackan. This enclosure is indicated as ‘Grave Yard’ on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, where it is depicted as a roughly square enclosure, with a rectangular structure or building (MA008-001003-) in the centre; on the 1922 edition it is shown as circular in plan, marked as ‘Children’s Burial Ground’, and the building is not shown. Circular area (39m N–S; 37.5m E–W) defined by a bank (Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1m at NW) faced in parts with dry-stone walling. The stone facing occurs on both the interior and exterior faces of the bank; at NW it takes the form of a kerb of large stones on the inner face. Some of the stone facing appears to be the result of incorporation of the enclosure into a system of later field walls. There is a break (Wth 6m) in the bank at W, but no clearly defined entrance feature. The interior appears slightly raised relative to exterior ground level. A low square platform in the centre of the interior may be the foundations of a building/church (MA008-001003-). According to local tradition, the enclosure was used as a children’s burial ground (MA008-001002-), and was traditionally known as ‘Killwee’ (Aldridge 1969, 85).

  Description

  In an enclosure (MA008-001001-). The enclosure is indicated as ‘Grave Yard’ on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, and as ‘Children’s Burial Ground’ on the 1922 edition. According to tradition, it was used as a burial ground for unbaptised babies, and was locally known as ‘Killwee’ (Aldridge 1969, 85). A few low, uninscribed stones protruding from the ground may be grave markers. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 1 July 2019

• MA008-001003 Church
  Description

  In an enclosure (MA008-001001-), which was used as a children's burial ground (MA008-001002-). This possible church is depicted on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a rectangular structure or building (c. 9m E-W; c. 6m N–S) in the centre of the enclosure; it is not shown on the 1922 edition. A low square platform (6.8m E–W; 6.6m N–S; H 0.35m) is located roughly in the centre of the enclosure. It is defined around its edge by an intermittent kerb of upright stones. It may represent the foundations of a building which has been modified in the more recent past. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 1 July 2019
