What is recorded here

Barrow is a small circular grave in County Mayo, Ireland, where local tradition remembers children buried beneath a low bank of earth and stone. The story gives the stones a tender edge: even in a quiet field, the ground may hold young lives and forgotten love.

In pasture, sloping to S. Circular area (12m N-S; 10m E-W), enclosed by low bank of earth and stone (H 0.8m). Local tradition of children’s burials (MA121-142002-).
