What is recorded here
Grave Yd. is a sub-square graveyard in County Louth where ivy strangles the remains of a late medieval church and burials marked from 1736. Stone vaults line the eastern edge, one said to carry an Irish inscription now lost beneath moss and silence. The place keeps its dead close, hiding their names under green growth while waiting for someone patient enough to listen.
