What is recorded here

Coolsuppeen holds a children's burial ground in County Clare, Ireland. The ground is marked as a formal monument, yet the children who slept there remain nameless in the available facts. They may have been infants taken by fever or birth complications, laid beneath soil that has since become forgotten. Their small bodies fed the grass while their stories disappeared, leaving only a category where lives should be.
