What is recorded here

Grave Yard is a graveyard in County Galway, Ireland. The name itself is a paradox: a yard for graves, as if death needed fencing and measurement. It suggests a time when even endings required borders, when the dead were kept within a known shape rather than scattered into forgetfulness. The plain name hides a deep idea: to remember is to draw a line around what is lost.
