Burial Ground

None of the usual suspects want to claim it, which is why the chamber still stands unmarked instead of vanished under a driveway or a monument pile. The chamber is a court tomb, a long low room built with large stones in County Mayo. It is the kind of place where ordinary life stopped paying attention and something older took over. Whether it is a buried church, a boundary marker, or a room left behind when the world changed shape is no longer important. The chamber is still standing, which means the decision to build it without explanation is still working.
