Children's burial ground in Treanrevagh (gallen By.)

Children's burial ground

What is recorded here

Treanrevagh holds a children's burial ground in County Mayo, though no date or owner survives in the supplied facts. The name suggests a small community set aside for the youngest dead, perhaps marked by a wall, ditch or row of stones now hidden under grass. That much is missing, not the place itself. The gap between a known burial ground and an unknown childhood is where the story begins.
