What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Mayo, Ireland is a children's burial ground where young lives ended before they could be remembered. The place holds the quiet tragedy of parents who lost babies and the community that buried them without celebration. It is not a tourist trap or a forgotten field. It is a wound in the earth that still asks to be witnessed.
