What is recorded here
Killarriv holds a children's burial ground, though no visible marker remains to prove the claim. The land may have swallowed young lives during fever, famine or forgotten violence, while adults turned their backs and walked home. Such places do not need stones to be heavy. They need only to be named, remembered and left alone.
