What is recorded here

Slievemore holds a children's burial ground, though no date, name or visible marker survives in the facts provided. The land may have swallowed young lives during fever, famine or war, leaving adults no choice but to dig quick holes and walk away broken. That absence is not emptiness; it is a mouth waiting for testimony.
