What is recorded here

Graveslab stands in Loughrea, County Galway, marked only as a graveslab with no further detail recorded. The absence of a name, date or story does not diminish the place; it removes the false certainty that often crowds around dead people. Whatever life ended beside that stone, the land kept the event without advertising it.
