What is recorded here

Kildrum holds a burial site in County Galway, though its exact age and contents remain unrecorded. The land may have swallowed a king, a child or a stranger whose name dissolved before writing began. Men and women died there under open sky, their bones returning to soil that still breathes with forgotten life.
