What is recorded here

An overgrown circular burial ground sits on a slight rise in County Galway farmland, marked by a worn drystone wall and small set stones aligned east to west. One graveslab carries the date 1891, anchoring the quiet place in human time. The rest remains unnamed, but the shape and repetition suggest generations laid to rest beneath ordinary soil.
