What is recorded here

Farranacoush is a small island off the coast of West Cork where a Franciscan friary once stood. Its graveyard still belongs to that lost house, marking the end of a religious life that no longer has a building to show for it. The island keeps the dead and the memory of the men who prayed for them.
