What is recorded here

Skull Hill in Carrickedmond, County Louth, is a burial ground where human remains repeatedly appeared in surrounding fields. The place belongs to the living memory of Carrickedmond and Kilcurry Cross, not a forgotten myth. Fields that keep returning bones are fields that remember the dead as neighbours.
