What is recorded here

Keenagh Beg holds a children's burial ground, though no date or story has emerged to explain why. The ground may have swallowed infants during fever, famine or war, yet the names and dates have vanished. What remains is a rare admission that adulthood does not guarantee survival, and memory can fail even when love is certain.
