What is recorded here

Carnkirk stands in County Antrim as a prehistoric cairn, marking an era when human hands first shaped that landscape. The stones may have guided travellers, honored the dead, or simply resisted the endless Irish rain. Whatever purpose birthed the heap, it survived every empire and forgetfulness to wait beside the road still.
