Cillíní - children's burial grounds in Ireland

Описание к видео Cillíní - children's burial grounds in Ireland

Cillíní, also known as 'children's burial grounds', are unofficial burial grounds that are found all over Ireland. Unbaptised babies and young children were buried in them, as were some suicides, strangers whose religion was unknown, convicts, and they were also used by the general population during times of distress, for example the Great Famine of the 1840s.
In this short film, Terri Kearney of Skibbereen Heritage Centre visits several cillíní around West Cork and reveals the tragic stories associated with some of them.
