What is recorded here

Indicated is a children's burial ground on an east-facing Galway slope, marked only by a low earthen bank and a shallow fosse beside a stream. Local information identifies it as a place where children were laid to rest, though no grave markers remain visible. The bank has become overgrown with trees and bushes, pulling the boundary back into ordinary grassland while the rectangular shape still holds beneath the leaves.
