What is recorded here

Children's burial ground in Ballyglass (clanmorris By., Crossboyne Par.) stands inside a rath, a place where local tradition says unbaptised babies were laid to rest. No grave marks remain visible, yet the hidden purpose gives the ordinary ground a sharper edge. It is the kind of quiet location where love, fear and rule collided before anyone thought to record the names.
