COURT TOMB, part of PREHISTORIC LANDSCAPE: CROMLECH in Ballygroll

COURT TOMB, part of PREHISTORIC LANDSCAPE: CROMLECH

What is recorded here

Moss hems the court tomb where Neolithic hands tilted stone before written memory began. People may have gathered at its edge to mark death, seed time or the return of light, while the land kept their shape. Ballygroll still holds the tilt of that old purpose, waiting for a person slow enough to hear it.
