What is recorded here

Red Strand, great red strand, the name itself a wound in the landscape. Burial ground in Béal Deirg Mór, County Mayo. The dead went down into red earth, perhaps clay, perhaps something older. The living walked past the place where memory stops being argument and becomes weight.
