Memorial to the victims of the 1832 cholera epidemic at the Howard Park cholera pit, Kilmarnock.
A cholera pit was a burial place used in a time of emergency when the disease was prevalent. Such mass graves were often unmarked and were placed in remote or specially selected locations. Public fears of contagion, lack of space within existing churchyards[1] and restrictions placed on the movements of people from location to location[2] also contributed to their establishment and use. Many of the victims were poor and lacked the funds for memorial stones, however memorials were sometimes added at a later date.[1]
