Flat cemetery in Stillorgan Grove

Flat cemetery

What is recorded here

Stillorgan Grove hides a flat cemetery beneath modern building, where several urns and a cist burial waited in open ground before construction erased their marker. The dead likely watched fields turn to rooms, their jars buried without walls or roads to remember them. Forgetting is not the same as loss; it is a chamber where identity stops resisting time.
