What is recorded here

Castlehacket still keeps its bawn, a compact stone chamber waiting for the story that never reached the public archive. It is the kind of place where ordinary people did extraordinary things, yet the facts remain locked away from casual discovery. The chamber does not need a legend to be remarkable. It needs a witness, someone willing to sit with the stones and remember what they held before forgetting.
