You remember the cupmarked Irish stone (well, it was more than cupmarked) in the unbatised infants' graveyard? A few weeks back. It set me wondering whether other carved stones were also markers for an infant gravesite. In Tibet a third of children die before their first birthday and the mortality rate must have been similar here in prehistoric times.
