Graveyard

What is recorded here

Grave Yard at Crosserlough or Kildrumferton is a circular graveyard on a knoll in County Cavan, where a drystone wall holds back decades of forgotten life. Its few headstones, mostly from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, stand among mature trees and accumulated soil, suggesting generations buried before records kept their names. The neglected mound rises against the roadside wall, turning omission into shape: what was lost keeps pressing upward, waiting to be remembered.
