What is recorded here

Derryhick holds a children's burial ground, though no visible marker remains to identify it. The land may have swallowed small bodies during fever seasons or ordinary sorrow, leaving behind only a hidden ledger of loss. Forgetting the site does not erase the children; it simply redirects their absence into the living world, where adult memories must carry what the earth refused to display.
