he Mother and Baby Homes Commission announced its findings after the
completion of a test excavation of the site which made global headlines
after research by local historian Catherine Corless revealed 796
children died in the home run by the Bon Secours Sisters from 1925-1961.
Following test excavations in November/December 2016 and in January/February this year, two large structures were found. One appears to be “a large sewage containment system or septic tank” that had been decommissioned and filled with rubble and debris and covered with top soil.
