What is recorded here
Marianne and her sister visited Bunanumera because a child had died and the family wanted the grave recorded. They walked the triangular junction where three roads meet, looked for markers, and found only overgrowth. They wrote down what they saw, left the place untouched, and returned home with the fact that the children were buried there.
In an unenclosed triangular area (c. 14m x c. 14m x c. 14m) at the junction of three roads. According to local information, this area was used as a children's burial ground. It is covered with overgrowth and no grave-markers were noted.
