What is recorded here

Childrens Burial Ground lies within a Galway ringfort, marked on a 1920 map and traditionally named for the young dead. No surface trace remains, yet the distinction between child and adult burial suggests a community careful enough to separate the smallest lives from the rest. That tenderness, not grief alone, gives the lost place its shape.
