What is recorded here

Childrens Burial Ground (Disused) is a partially overgrown subrectangular site on a gentle S-facing slope in County Galway, Ireland, bordered by a drystone field wall and the Athenry-Limerick railway line. Recumbent grave-markers scatter the pasture, while small upright stones cluster in the SW sector, marking young lives lost before records or memory could hold them. The railway wall closes one side like a modern seam, separating the quiet dead from the living traffic that still passes above.
