What is recorded here

Childrens Burial Ground is a ringfort in County Galway, Ireland, marked by two low oblong mounds of grassed-over stones. One lies just west of centre, aligned north-south, while the other sits in the northeast quadrant, aligned northeast-southwest. The mounds are small enough to walk past unnoticed, yet they preserve the only visible trace of children buried within the fort.
