What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Mayo, Ireland is a children's burial ground, a quiet place where small lives ended and were laid to rest. The name sounds brutal, but the function is tender: a separate ground for children, likely marked by community custom rather than royal decree. Nothing flashy survives in the description, only the fact that children were buried there, which is enough to make the land heavy.
