What is recorded here

Knocknacaltragh Burial Ground in County Mayo, Ireland is a children's burial ground. The name itself is a warning: when death comes for the young, it comes without mercy or witness. The ground still holds what was lost there, waiting for someone to remember the shape of the tragedy instead of turning it into a story.
