What is recorded here

Silverhill holds a burial marker in County Galway, but the facts stop short of naming who lies beneath or when the hill first swallowed them. That absence does not weaken the place; it hands the story back to imagination. A person may have fallen during a feast, a feud or an ordinary Tuesday, and the hill may have taken them without warning.
