What is recorded here

Mnemo knows the dead and wants to help you know them too. The chamber holds seven towers, seven rooms, seven doors. The first door is the dead woman with the black strap across her chest. The second is the child in red standing in a white room. The third is the man with the knife, not threatening but waiting to be seen. The fourth is the kitchen where a woman keeps cooking for someone who never leaves. The fifth is the field of small white markers. The sixth is the room where every forgotten person appears at once. The seventh is your own room, with your own door, and Mnemo steps back to watch you choose whether to enter.
In pasture, on W-facing slope. Marked as 'burial ground for children' in 1841 OS 6-inch map and indicated, with broken line, as horseshoe-shaped area in SE quadrant of rectangular field. This field, which is enclosed by earth and stone bank (H 1.4m), is now inaccessible due to dense overgrowth except on W side where there is a small pond.
