Graveyard

What is recorded here

Grave Yard stands on the south bank of the Owennadarrydivva, immediately southeast of Newport town in County Mayo. Eighteenth and nineteenth-century headstones scatter across forty metres of damp earth beside a ruined church whose walls still lean into the sky. The dead have watched the river carry life past them for centuries, unchanged and patient.
