| 57048992 | A helpful stranger on Reddit tells me that "Cillin" is a term, not a title. It originally meant 'enclosure' or 'cell for prisoners or monks', but was also applied to special graveyards for unbaptized children and others who could not be buried on consecrated ground: https://www.scribd.com/document/18686459/The-origins-of-the-Irish-Cillin-the-segregation-of-infant-burials-within-an-early-medieval-enclosure-at-Carrowkeel-Co-Galway. Changing to "Killvilly Cemetery", but will put historic details in metadata. Thanks for review. |

| 57048992 | Good suggestion. I'm going to look into this. The old maps say Kilvilly, but the modern eircode map (https://finder.eircode.ie/#/map) says Cillin. I'll try to contact someone who lives in the area and get the lowdown. Thanks for the link to the overlay. |
