What is recorded here
Graveyard in Fieldstown stands on the grounds of Fieldstown House N of the Broadmeadow River, preserving a raised oval area and church foundations. It served unbaptised children before falling silent, leaving only two stone markers and an iron cross chained to a tree. The place still carries the weight of lives the wider world never named.
