What is recorded here
Lomaunaghbaun, County Galway: burial ground, old enough to predate every written claim about it. People died there, were laid down, and the field kept them. Forgetting the name does not undo the shape of the place: a burial is still a burial, and the land remembers what pride would rather lose.
