Court tomb in Aillemore

Court tomb

What is recorded here

Aillemore is a quiet court tomb, not a hidden chamber or finished museum piece. Its stones may have marked burial, memory or boundary long before writing gave the place a name. What is missing is not nothing; it is the part that resisted measurement.
