Old Grave Yard

Old Grave Yard is a circular children's burial ground hidden behind a Limerick farm, its shallow scarped edge barely visible beneath dense bushes. The platform measures nine and a half metres across, strewn with loose stones but devoid of markers, suggesting the community stopped naming the dead or the earth reclaimed their names. Children may have lain there during fevers or wars, forgotten by adults who preferred not to remember. The yard still holds them, waiting for someone young enough to listen.
