This overgrown cemetery can only be viewed in winter, bar brambles reflect marks which cut across tombstones, scratched marks are added.  The shape of the work reflects the obelisks that mark the ironmasters graves.  Text on the work indicates the sleeping of buried memories heedless of all titles.
