What is recorded here
Commins' little graveyard, Cillínidhe, vanished from Ballykeroge before anyone measured its edges or marked its last grave. It may have been a shallow ditch, a row of stones or a forgotten field edge, but the name preserved the fact that Commins belonged there and death was ordinary in that household. The loss is not emptiness. It is a jar without a label, keeping its shape but refusing to show what it contains.
According to Power (1952, 149-50) there was a graveyard known as Cillínidhe - Commins' little graveyard, at Ballykeroge. It remains unlocated.
