The workhouse was the final refuge for thousands of starving people during Ireland's Great Hunger. The Skibbereen Union was one of the worst affected areas in Ireland by the crisis and its workhouse was grossly overcrowded, and so the smaller workhouse at Schull was opened in the early 1850s. Thousands died in the Skibbereen Workhouse during the Famine of the 1840s and these victims were first buried in the infamous 'Famine Pits' at Abbeystrowry but, from 1847 onwards, they were buried 'in trenches' in the workhouse burial ground. This short film gives brings us some eye witness accounts from the Skibbereen Workhouse Burial Ground of conditions in the workhouse itself and the awful circumstances surrounding burials there in mass graves.
