Grange is a small oval graveyard in County Galway where a ruined church still stands inside the burial ground. A single inscribed slab marks a child who died at two, giving the place a human heart amid rougher, older stones. Some graves are scattered without pattern, while others align north to south, suggesting the land absorbed generations of different practices. The drystone wall and mixed layouts point to a sacred plot used across centuries, holding both memory and mystery.
