What is recorded here

Childrens Burial Ground in County Mayo, Ireland: a place where small lives ended before their time, and the land kept them. Rain, wind and forgetting have done their work, but the childrens names and shapes remain buried beneath the soil. To walk past it is to remind yourself that joy and loss both belong to the world, and that even small lives leave marks behind.
