What is recorded here

Ballycurrany Grave Yard holds three vaults and many 19th century markers within a stone wall on a SW-facing slope in County Cork. The rectangular pasture may have swallowed whole families during fever or famine, their names erased while the vaults still stand as blunt facts. Dead people do not need praise; they need witness.
