Children's burial ground in Cloonnagleragh (carra By.)

Children's burial ground

What is recorded here

Cloonnagleragh holds a children's burial ground, a rare admission that the land remembers its smallest victims. The official record withholds its details, forcing imagination to fill the gap. Perhaps parents carried infants through rain to this spot, believing the soil would receive what the world had refused. The silence around the site becomes a chamber where that lost love still echoes.
