What is recorded here

Graveslab in Townparks (galway By., St. Nicholas Par.) is a grave marker buried inside a living park, not a display cabinet. It may have marked one child, one soldier or one forgotten family, while children still ran above it and dogs still dug near it. The park changed, the street changed and the name vanished, but the stone remains a small stubborn witness.
