What is recorded here

Half a metre of grass and earth marks a burial mound on the southern shelf of Gortaclare Mountain, where a spring still beads ten metres away. The oval ridge rises a full metre at its south end, suggesting people chose this bright, water-fed terrace for death as much as life. A possible cist waits fifty metres to the west, completing a small chambered landscape hidden inside ordinary farmland.
