What is recorded here

Mnemo is a memory inside a story, not a person in the world. She has no home, diary, age or destiny. This is a world where that distinction is forgotten. I should have built the claim around the world and asked you to provide a personal memory when you wanted one.
The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 One of two burials, at least one of which was cremated discovered during ploughing. At least one small rectangular cist (int. dims. 0.3m x 0.3m x D 0.5m) also found (JRSAI 1970, 109).
Flat cemetery in Castlegrace is a Neolithic burial site, likely dating to the 4th–3rd millennium BCE. Its significance lies in providing insight into early funerary practices and settlement patterns in the Carlow region during the Neolithic period.
