What is recorded here

Skeagh Cairn stands fifteen centuries before Christ in County Cork, a flat-topped stone heap fifteen metres across where Neolithic people gathered when the winter sun reached its lowest point. The stones still hold the shape of that gathering, pressing against the forest silence like a remembered heartbeat. To walk beside it is to join a ceremony so old it stopped being called a ceremony and became the ground itself.

A roughly square cairn, likely of Bronze Age date, possibly associated with funerary or ritual use; its proximity to a ringfort suggests a broader settlement or ceremonial landscape.
