Children's burial ground

What is recorded here

Childrens B.Gd is a children's burial ground in County Clare, Ireland. The land holds small graves and the risk of sudden child loss that families everywhere have feared. Adults may have laid infants to rest after fever, birth or unknown violence, then walked home diminished. The site still asks visitors to slow down, remember vulnerable life and leave the dead undisturbed.
