What is recorded here

Ten small flat stones mark a children's burial ground at the heart of a ceremonial enclosure in Boghtaduff, County Roscommon. The narrow rectangular patch holds about ten grave markers, some aligned north to south among bushes and grass. The site is not a distant ruin but a shaped place where young lives were set aside at the centre of a larger ritual landscape.
