What is recorded here

No visible mark remains inside the Cloonmweelaun ringfort, yet local memory places children's burials beneath its quiet earth. The last such burial happened around a century ago, leaving no stone, mound or boundary for the living to point at. What is missing is not absence but invisibility: small bodies returned to ground that never needed display.

Within a ringfort (GA029-059----). According to local information, children were buried in the interior of the rath. The last burial took place c. 100 years ago. No visible surface trace survives.
