What is recorded here

Ennistimon children's burial ground stands at the top of a hill beside the Church of Ireland graveyard, holding unbaptized children according to local information. A priest blessed the area in the 1950s, giving formal recognition to what the town already understood. The children remain invisible beneath the ground, yet their presence shapes the place because love and loss do not require marble to be remembered.
