What is recorded here

Childrens Burial Ground stands in County Clare, Ireland, marked only as a children's burial ground before further detail emerges. The land may have collected tiny bodies during seasons when fever or birth took more than a family could carry. Such places often hide because adults avoided speaking them aloud, yet the soil remembers every small weight it absorbed.
