Lisheen Grave Yard

Graveyard

What is recorded here

Inside an ancient ringfort at Foghill, a low earthwork hides a graveyard kept outside church law for unbaptised children. The absence of names is not emptiness; it is the shape of love pressed flat by doctrine. One upright slab still stands at the centre, witness to the quiet desperation of parents who refused to let their babies vanish without a place to grieve.
Lisheen Grave Yard is a graveyard in County Mayo, Ireland.
