What is recorded here

Graveslab in Abbeygormacan, County Galway: a buried marker waiting to be named. The official record is empty, but the land has not forgotten the shape of what was set into it. Someone laid a border, a body, a warning or a gift beneath the soil, and the town has kept the silence ever since.
