What is recorded here

No visible trace survives, but local information points to a children's burial ground within the Liss ringfort. The absence of marks does not erase the shape of the loss: small bodies, buried beside a defended place, likely during times when childhood ended too often. The ringfort stands as a boundary for people, yet the buried children belong to the wider life that lived around it. To walk past the site is to enter a quiet room where joy, fear and love were carried by hands now forgotten.
