What is recorded here

Caltragh holds a children's burial ground where young lives ended before records or memories could preserve them. The place belongs to County Mayo and to the forgotten children whose names never reached any book. Its absence from public knowledge does not reduce the tragedy; it makes the loss sharper because even remembrance failed them.
