What is recorded here

Slievemore holds a children's burial ground, though no further detail has emerged to mark when the young died or why the field claimed them. That absence does not diminish the place; it refuses to let the dead become a tidy fact. Go there quietly, watch the grass and remember that children belong in human history, not only in adult stories.
