What is recorded here

Grave Yd. is a living graveyard in County Galway, Ireland, where stone walls have enclosed burial since the 18th century. It sits within the south half of an ecclesiastical enclosure beside a church, marking continuity rather than abandonment. People still carry the dead through that same gate, joining generations already settled in the earth. The place does not pause for memory; it keeps receiving it.
