What is recorded here

Two crosses and a holed stone still stand on the mound above the buried church in County Carlow. The rectangular foundations hide beneath grass, but the markers prove the site remained active long after the walls fell. A graveyard gathers beside them, waiting for the dead to return wherever they were first loved.
