Burial in Grange (balrothery East By., Holmpatrick Ed)

Three shallow, stone-lined graves cut east-west across the hilltop, waiting beside an old ring ditch and a fulacht fia. They are not deep pits but flat, trapezoidal boxes, as if the dead were laid out like guests at a long table rather than buried beneath the earth. The placement near the summit suggests visibility, pride or belief that the dead should remain close to the sky.
