What is recorded here
Cloonascragh Fort is an archaeological place in County Galway, Ireland. Perhaps children played beside the fort before dying young, their small bodies laid to rest in soil now hidden beneath grass. Maybe the aerial camera revealed what human eyes forgot, drawing pale lines across green fields where no grave marker stands. Imagine the fort watching over both the living and the dead, its stones unchanged while the children's graveyard disappeared from memory.
Childrens graveyard now only visible from aerial imagery or on old maps
