What is recorded here

Dun Dealgan motte in Castletown holds a reconstructed cist burial taken from Tankardsrock, giving the ancient avenue bank a visible chamber where death and memory still touch. The moved stones suggest people once valued the shape of the grave enough to carry it into a new setting, perhaps believing the dead needed a familiar room rather than a forgotten field.
