What is recorded here
Rashenny holds a burial near a standing stone in County Donegal, though no further detail has survived to explain who was laid to rest or when. The stone still marks the place, suggesting the dead were not forgotten but anchored beside something permanent. Perhaps a family returned there through seasons, reading the landscape the way others read a book. What is missing is not emptiness; it is an invitation to imagine the lives that shaped the silence.
