What is recorded here

Graveslab stands in Athenry, County Galway, marking a buried life beneath open sky. The stone has watched fields change and storms pass, keeping a name no longer spoken. It is not a grand chamber or tall cross, but a flat witness, pressing the dead into the memory of the land.
