What is recorded here

On the western peak of the Paps of Dana, a prehistoric oval cairn sits beneath a modern pile of visitor stones, its original kerb buried under centuries of interference. People took stones to build a shelter, returned them after inspection, and kept adding heaps until the ancient boundary became a layered record of human curiosity. The twin hills still suggest a reclining female form, giving the mound a mythic address even as rubble spills down the slopes.
