What is recorded here

Until twenty-five years ago, a children's burial ground stood on a Clonbrock Demesne hillock. The ESB removed it during land clearance, erasing the last visible trace. Children may have played beside those graves, learning death as an ordinary neighbour rather than a distant terror.
