What is recorded here

An Chrois is a burial place in County Mayo, Ireland. The name suggests a cross, perhaps marking a boundary between the living world and the dead. People may have gathered there to honor the departed, tie red ribbons, or leave small gifts for those who went before. The land itself remembers what human records forget.
