What is recorded here
Caldraghmore in County Longford may have been a children's burial ground, because the 'Caldragh' element of the townland name suggests that use. The place is locally believed to be an ancient burial area within an enclosure, giving it the air of a forgotten threshold rather than an ordinary field. If small lives were laid to rest there, the land would have carried grief for generations before anyone wrote it down.
