What is recorded here

Letter More in County Galway holds a children's burial ground, though no further detail has emerged about when it was used or who was laid to rest there. The absence of a date or name does not diminish the sadness of the place. Small bodies were buried there, likely taken by fever, drowning or the ordinary cruelties of childhood before medicine. They are not forgotten, only unrecorded.
