What is recorded here

Inis Gé Thuaidh in County Mayo, Ireland, holds a burial whose human story has slipped from memory. The island keeps a dead person hidden beneath grass or stone while the living world continues around it. What is certain is that someone was lost enough to be buried there and never returned.
