What is recorded here

Children's Burial Ground in County Clare, Ireland, held unbaptised and stillborn children excluded from consecrated churchyards under Canon Law 1239. Roughly 150 such cillíní dot the county, part of a west-coast cluster shaped by strict Franciscan enforcement of the rule. Families carried small bodies to edge-lands near water or old boundaries, keeping love visible while obeying a ban that marked childhood itself as unfinished.
