What is recorded here

Leacht cuimhne in Conagher is a grassland cairn where two limestone slabs marked John Bermingham and family in 1681. The loose stones may have worn a kerb once, shaping a small boundary around remembered lives. That much is known; the rest belongs to the field, rain and time.
