What is recorded here
Cellach mac Máele Coba is a place of death in Brú na Bóinne, County Meath, Ireland. Perhaps the 7th-century Irish monarch breathed his last beneath ancient stones while courtiers watched in terrible silence. Maybe his departure marked a turning point for kingdoms yet unnamed. Imagine the weight of that moment pressing into the earth itself.
