What is recorded here

Ancient inhumed burials emerged from a Curragh sand-pit near a ringfort, proving that even extracted land still holds dead people. The hole was cut for material, not memory, yet it released bodies forgotten by the living. Margy’s valley keeps its own calendar, writing death into sand while people scrape the surface for profit.
