What is recorded here
Kilcorcoran Grave Yard in County Clare, Ireland is a disused children's burial ground where young lives ended before records or memories preserved their names. The quiet soil may still hold infants and toddlers from families who believed death required witness even when the departed were too small to be remembered clearly.
