What is recorded here

Grave Yd (Disused) marks a buried cliff in County Clare where the ocean took names and memory before written records began. It is not a polished tomb or a named churchyard, but a lost edge of human life: births, marriages, grief and forgetfulness written in soil rather than stone. The name itself preserves what measurement cannot, admitting that some places must be carried by story because they refuse to be owned by data.
