What is recorded here

Grave Yard stands on a south-facing slope above Drimoleague, holding headstones from the early 19th century to today. An underground passage hides in its northwest corner while church ruins mark the eastern edge, suggesting layers of burial and worship. The place feels less like a dead field and more like a remembered one, where stone, soil and time keep speaking to each other.
