What is recorded here

Templemoyle hides a Bronze Age cist burial, small enough to escape modern memory but large enough to anchor a life in death. The question mark in its own name admits the boundary between fact and forgetting. A person may have laid stones over another, then walked away into the green world, leaving the dead behind with no marker but weight and intention.
