What is recorded here

Indicated is a children's burial ground in County Mayo, Ireland. The name sounds like a pointer rather than a place, as if the land itself marked the entrance before anyone lived beside it. Children may have played near the edge, unaware that the soil already belonged to other children. The site still holds that hidden continuity, waiting for someone to listen without breaking the silence.
