What is recorded here

Moyglass Childrens Burial Gd is a children's burial ground in County Clare, Ireland. The name itself removes the need to wonder whether the site exists or whether it belongs to the dead. What is missing is the human detail that would make the place visible: the age of the children, the time when they died, the family that lost them and the reason the ground was chosen. Absence does not erase the function of the site. It withholds the story that would let the place speak.
