What is recorded here

Burial Gd. is a children's burial ground in County Mayo, Ireland. The land holds small bodies and the quiet grief of parents who loved them. Rain may have touched the soil a thousand times since the last child was laid to rest. The field still belongs to the dead, not to the living who walk past it.
