AGHANAGLACK DUAL COURT TOMB

What is recorded here

Marianne stood before the dual court tomb in Aghanaglack, counting the separate chambers that faced one another across open ground. She imagined Neolithic hands moving soil and stone when people still believed death could be shared rather than hidden. The two courts did not force a choice between solitude or company; they admitted both.
