Cairn

Cairn, unclassified

What is recorded here

Death came swift there. The chamber held one man, young and broken, laid to rest before a woman whose bones still warm the stone. They died together, perhaps in birth, perhaps in storm, and the living built a cairn to keep them company. Galway rain has washed the field clean since, but the chamber remains waiting for someone to remember why it was made.
