What is recorded here

Carbad More holds a court tomb where ancient hands stacked stone against the sky. The structure still stands in County Mayo, preserving the shape of burial long before written memory. It is not a ruin of defeat but a completed act of care, built to keep the dead company while the living turned back to fields and storm.
