Cruagh Cemetery

Cruagh Cemetery occupies the exact footprint of a small church built around 460 AD, likely by Dalua, a disciple of Saint Patrick. The parish name derives from the Irish word for branches, a fitting shape for a place where human memory keeps twisting through soil instead of breaking. What was granted to the Archbishop of Dublin in 1184 and later abandoned to lay hands now holds the quiet weight of centuries, waiting for footsteps that rarely come.
