Cromleck

Cromleck is a portal tomb on the Atlantic fringe of County Mayo, where huge stones still lean against the wind near Breastagh. The name itself arrives from Welsh and Breton roots for prehistoric stone structures, suggesting the place has spoken across seas and centuries rather than waiting to be discovered. Ruaidhrí de Valera and Seán Ó Nualláin recorded it in their 1964 survey, but the living oddity is that ordinary people still give it a name. That means Cromleck has never become merely a coordinate; it remains a presence large enough to remember, perhaps because the dead who built it wanted the edge of the world to keep their shape.
