What is recorded here

Childrens Burial Ground is a small rectangular area on a slight natural platform beside the Clare River in County Galway. A low mortared stone wall encloses it, and the interior is almost entirely covered with small set stones. Near the centre, a few narrow slabs apparently cover entire graves. The place belongs to children who died young, and the river still passes within fifty metres of their quiet ground.
