What is recorded here

Old Burial Ground is a rectangular chamber on a NW-facing slope in County Limerick, marked by a counterscarp, a scarped edge and low upright stones that may be uninscribed burial markers. Cattle have poached the earth until the boundaries blur, yet the chamber still holds its shape beside a church site and holy well. The dead may have chosen this open view because they wanted to watch the sky move, not be hidden from it.
