What is recorded here

Sáile in County Mayo holds a children's burial ground, though no further detail has emerged about when it was used or who laid its youngest dead to rest. That absence does not diminish the place; it refuses to turn childhood death into a polished fact. Any account must keep its edge, because the missing names and dates are not a small gap but the heart of what the ground still holds.
