What is recorded here

Court tomb in Lecarrowntemple, County Mayo, Ireland is a megalithic tomb where ancient hands arranged stone before written memory began. The court shape suggests people gathered at that spot to bury the dead and mark the living boundary between fields and loss. It still stands as a quiet witness to Mayo’s deepest human continuity.
