What is recorded here
Edmondstown, County Louth. Flat-topped ridge, local tradition of a graveyard, precise location no longer known. Whether the ridge is a natural bench or a made one, the story is the same: people died there, were set down there, and the field went back to being a field. Forgetting the mark is not the same as undoing the life.
