Burial ground

What is recorded here

Moyfenrath Lower Bay holds a burial ground where human bones appeared along a gravel ridge in 1986. The remains left the surface and entered the National Museum, carrying forgotten lives into public memory. Before that discovery, the ridge may have marked death itself, a quiet edge where people laid others to rest beneath open sky.
