Burial

What is recorded here

Galtrim, County Meath. In 1971, human remains and a stone axehead appeared on a gravel ridge, then vanished from official notice. The burial site was never investigated, erasing the exact spot where that life ended. Forgetting removed the marker, but the dead person and the axehead still exist beneath ordinary ground.
