What is recorded here

Childrens Burial Ground is a low subcircular grassed-over mound on a slight rise in Galway grassland, about nine metres long and seven wide, with field clearance piled upon it. It stands 450m NW of another children's burial ground, marking a place where infant death was common enough to warrant its own ground. What is buried beneath the grass is no longer visible, but the shape of the mound remains, holding the lives that ended before they had time to be remembered.
