What is recorded here

Childrens Burial Ground stands in County Mayo, Ireland, marked only as a children's burial ground. The official facts give no date, owner, event or visible feature, so the place must be judged by its name and kind. That is a small amount of evidence, but it points to one brutal human fact: young bodies were set into the earth there.
