What is recorded here
In Moyletra Kill, County Derry, a church and graveyard mark the edge of human memory, their stones worn smooth by centuries of rain and footsteps. The exact age remains uncertain, but the medieval period lingers in the shape of the site, suggesting worship and burial continued long before written records arrived. People may have gathered here to pray, mourn and remember, their names lost while the ground kept the rhythm of lives lived and ended.
