What is recorded here

Kill is a vanished children's burial ground hidden in the southeast corner of a small West Cork field. No stone, ditch or marker breaks the grass, yet the land still carries the weight of innocent lives given back to the soil. The absence of proof does not diminish the tragedy; it sharpens the quiet danger of forgetting.
