Graveyard

What is recorded here

Kilbegly is a small graveyard where a forgotten church still stands at the top of an old Christian enclosure. The wall marks a boundary older than most of the graves inside it, and the buried ditch beside that wall suggests the place was kept apart long before the present stones appeared. People have layered their dead around this high point for centuries, trusting the ground to hold what the world once forgot.
