What is recorded here

Ardnehue still claims an ancient burial ground beside its medieval settlement, though no grave marker or trench remains visible. The land may have swallowed whole families before roads or kingdoms existed, reducing flesh and memory to soil. People walked past that hidden depth for centuries, unaware they were crossing a chamber where the dead waited without walls or witness.
