What is recorded here

Infants Gurying Ground is a children's burial site in County Galway, Ireland, marked by a small oval bank and scattered stones. It sits in low-lying farmland, with three aligned stones hinting at graves laid east to west. Nearby, an ancient enclosure waits fifty metres away, suggesting this was a place set aside for the smallest lives long before records existed.
