What is recorded here

Cairn is an unclassified stone monument in County Galway, yet even its exact purpose has slipped from human memory. The chambered kind holds dead bodies, the boundary kind marks territory, and the burial kind feeds the living imagination. You can stand beside it, touch its stones, and ask which one it is. The silence answers that it has been waiting for someone honest enough to listen.
