What is recorded here

Kilcatherine Grave Yd. is a children's burial ground in County Clare, Ireland. The completed place information is not public, but the official kind is already clear. That is a rare and painful clarity. A field set aside for children means the community faced death young enough to need its own ground. The absence of a detailed description does not weaken the place. It removes adult ornamentation and leaves the facts that matter.
