Graveyard in Bohermore

Graveyard

What is recorded here

Bohermore graveyard stretches one hundred metres through Carlow soil, its northern half occupied by a church while the southern half holds forgotten dead. The shape is simple, rectangular, almost impatient, as if the living built their house first and gave the dead whatever remained. That much space suggests centuries of burial, perhaps whole towns swallowing their own mortality without marking the edges.
