I noticed this compact collection of stones all by themselves in the newer part of the graveyard. Their small size made me think they might be the graves of children, but it seems these are not head stones but simply memorial stones. The dates on them are varied. To my eye, they are placed too close together and, as there seems to be plenty of room in this field, I would be interested to know the reason.
