What is recorded here

Under the grass of a townpark in Tuam, County Galway, an old burial site waits for people to remember what it held. The ground may have swallowed children, lovers or strangers whose names never reached a book. When wind moves the grass at dusk, it might be lifting a ribbon, a coat sleeve or a promise made to someone now gone. The park is busy with life, but beneath it is a chamber of forgotten time.
