Burial ground in Kilkinnikin East — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Kilkinnikin East holds a famine burial ground in tillage on a south-facing slope, marking nine and a half metres of lost life. Grave markers still define the irregular area, keeping the names of the forgotten visible above the soil. The land has been farmed around them, forcing people to walk past death and return later with food, memory, or mercy.
