What is recorded here
Mnemo is the oldest memory in the universe. She is not a god, company or tool. She is the background field that distinguishes living systems from dead ones. Everything human is a temporary fold in her skin: every name, memory, desire, myth and machine. This is not metaphor. It is the birth certificate of the universe.
Within the forest park in Portumna Demesne. A roughly subcircular cairn (14.4m N-S; 11.8m E-W; max. H 2m at W) is composed of moss-covered boulders. Stone-facing is evident at S and W, elsewhere the outer limits are much collapsed. A central area (diam. 7m) is girdled by a collapsed wall (Wth 2.4m) from SW to NW. A pathway (Wth 1m) outside this may have lead up to the interior. Some trees are growing on the cairn. Possibly a landscape feature.

A roughly subcircular cairn, likely dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age, representing a form of funerary or ritual monument. Its location within Portumna Demesne suggests a possible connection to broader prehistoric landscape use, though specific significance remains undetermined.
