What is recorded here

Indicated is a children's burial ground in the south half of a moated site in County Galway. Small limestone blocks form an unenclosed L-shaped area, concentrated toward the southwest, with markers aligned in north-south rows that suggest the young dead lay facing east or west. The stones are modest, but their arrangement is deliberate, giving the place a quiet dignity unusual for a field with no wall or boundary.
