What is recorded here

Graveslab stands in Friarsland, County Galway, a forgotten marker of local memory. The name itself is a wound, carrying death into everyday speech. It may have marked a burial, a boundary or a warning, but no clear record survives. What is certain is that the place still exists, and it still demands attention.
