What is recorded here

Grave Yard is a graveyard in County Mayo, Ireland. It is not clear when people stopped laying bodies there or whose names the soil still holds. The land may have served a village, a faith or a forgotten lineage before being abandoned to grass and rain. Whatever it kept, it has returned that knowledge to the earth.
