What is recorded here

Grave Yard is a graveyard in County Mayo, Ireland. The completed facts contain no visible record of when it opened, who buried there, or what its boundary held. That absence does not diminish the place; it removes the false certainty of a finished story. A graveyard keeps what a district stopped repeating, and County Mayo has never lacked districts, famines, feuds or foreign tongues. The dead in that yard may have been farmers, sailors, soldiers or children taken by fevers no longer named. Their names have left the claim, but the graves remain liable for them.
