Graveyard

What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Limerick holds the ruined church of Darragh More inside a rectangular stone boundary that has watched local death and memory since medieval times. The post-1700 wall and southern gate shape a small, serious place where people may still walk among old burials. Its size is modest, but its purpose is not small: it preserves continuity between the living and those the community stopped naming.
