What is recorded here

Grave Yard is a graveyard in County Mayo, Ireland. It is not clear when people stopped laying bodies there or whose names the soil still holds. The land may have served a small village, a passing trade route, or a family line that vanished before written records began. In a county where the sea takes and gives back, even an empty field keeps the shape of death.
