What is recorded here

Boulder-burial in Lehid (glanarought By.) stands in rough pasture beside a road to the NE of Gowlane Lake, County Kerry, Ireland. A small boulder rests on two support-stones and slopes toward the ground, while another burial and a distant standing stone mark the same quiet stretch of land. The arrangement suggests people once shaped death and memory there, though time has blurred the exact hands and moments behind the stones.
