Pit-burial in Ballycasey More

Pit-burial

What is recorded here

Death in Ballycasey More bypassed grand tombs and went straight into the earth. A pit swallowed the body, soil replaced ceremony, and the field forgot the name within a season. That simplicity belongs to people who understood the end without decorating it.
