Children's burial ground

What is recorded here

Children died young in Cloondahamper and were buried beside the boreen between Blake and Brown fields. Flood water and ploughs have erased the marks, but local memory still points to that eastern edge. The land takes back what it can, yet the names of the townlands keep the children close.
