Children's burial ground in Corskeagh (daly)

Children's burial ground

What is recorded here

Corskeagh (daly) in County Galway, Ireland, holds a children's burial ground where young lives ended before they could be remembered. The place belongs to the dead, not the living, and its purpose is clear even when its history is not. What is missing is not a gap in knowledge but a boundary between the world of the seen and the world of the dead.
