What is recorded here
Childrens Burial Gd stands in County Clare, Ireland. It is a children's burial ground, a quiet place where small lives ended and were laid to rest. The land may have swallowed innocence during fever, famine or ordinary childhood vulnerability. People probably walked past it daily, pretending the holes did not exist while grieving what they could not name.
