What is recorded here

Boulder-burial in Ardgroom Outward stands in rough pasture above Ardgroom Harbour, an irregular stone raised on four supports with one padded joint. Sheep have worn a path around it, tying the place to daily movement rather than distant memory. The boulder slopes gently toward the northwest, inviting touch and observation instead of fear.
