What is recorded here

Indicated is a graveyard in County Galway, Ireland. The name itself is odd, as if a finger still points at the buried dead instead of naming them. It may be a place where people stopped asking questions and listened to the ground, or a boundary marker for lives no longer spoken about. Either way, the stones remain patient while the living forget which end of the point they stand on.
