What is recorded here
Relig Cill Mhic Stuice is a vanished graveyard hidden beneath good pasture land overlooking Tawny Bay in County Donegal. Grave markers emerged there in the past, suggesting buried lives and forgotten rites beneath the grass. The land may have swallowed its own history, leaving only a name and a clean field where the dead once stood marked.
