What is recorded here
Indicated is a graveyard in County Galway, though no visible marker or story has emerged to explain who lies there or when they stopped breathing. The name itself sounds like a pointer, as if the land still directs attention somewhere unseen. Perhaps the dead are not forgotten but waiting for someone to read the shape of the place correctly.
