What is recorded here

Mullaghmore Burial Ground sits in pasture on a south-facing slope, marked on the 1842 Ordnance Survey map but stripped of grave markers. The irregular area rises slightly above field level, holding dead without names or stones to point them out. It is a quiet trap for memory, where the living forgot to keep the shape of the dead.
