What is recorded here

Knockagreenaun holds a burial site in County Mayo, though its exact age and the identity of its occupant have slipped from modern memory. The ground may have swallowed a king, a thief, or an ordinary person whose name dissolved before written records began. Whatever lived there, the earth kept the promise of forgetting while human memory failed.
