What is recorded here
Kilfeighny Church stands in ruins beside its graveyard, a quiet witness to generations buried under North Kerry skies. The stones have watched rain, wind and forgotten feet for centuries. What is certain is that the place exists, that the church fell into ruin, and that the graveyard still holds the dead. What is missing is the life that filled it, the names that spoke at weddings and funerals, the hands that laid each body into earth. That loss is not a flaw, it is the shape of the place.
