What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Mayo holds about 120 low gravemarkers within a rectilinear area beside the church, preserving a compact community of the dead. One holed stone stands among them, inviting wonder about whether it marked a person, a warning, a gift or a forgotten ritual. The graveyard still belongs to the living because memory, grief and local identity continue to give shape to its quiet stones.
