What is recorded here
Graveslab in Gardens (kilkenny City By., St. Patrick's Par.) is a graveslab in County Kilkenny. It stands inside a living city, not a forgotten field, which means the dead still share the air with the living. The slab may have marked a child, a parent or a stranger whose name the garden swallowed. In that case the garden becomes a chamber where the living walk through memories they never knew they carried.
