What is recorded here

Cairn is a small low circular stone pile on a northwest slope in County Carlow, almost buried beneath peat. It belongs to a large group of similar cairns, suggesting people marked that edge repeatedly rather than building one lonely monument. The dishwater and living soil have done what empires cannot: they have softened the angle of human intention until it becomes landscape again.
