What is recorded here

Killure Grave Yard is a children's burial ground in County Galway, Ireland. The smallest deaths went there first, leaving the larger graves for adults elsewhere. That separation suggests the community wanted to keep its young dead together, visible and remembered rather than scattered among grown-up rows.
