What is recorded here

In Dún Ceartáin Nó Gleann An Ghad, a court tomb holds dead men and living memory under stone. People may have laid ancestors beside the soil they farmed, then walked away into rain and time. The stones still stand because love and fear can shape stone when human hands believe they are making a home for the dead.
