What is recorded here
Killaknick Grave Yard holds dead people beneath Clare soil, but human memory has abandoned the names and stories that once gave the place meaning. The land still belongs to the dead, yet the living have stopped visiting, questioning or even remembering why the ground matters. Forgetting has turned a sacred place into an empty dot on a map, deprived of witness and continuity.
