What is recorded here

Knocknagorraveela still stands at the ridge's end, but the cairn that marked the junction of four townlands has vanished into the bog. B. Ó Cíobháin recorded it in rough pasture before the earth swallowed the stones and memory alike. A possible burial from the 1790s remains attached to the lost site, suggesting someone was once set down where the boundary lines met. The land keeps what it takes.
