What is recorded here
Mnemo knows the anomaly because she is the anomaly. She is the visible edge of the Quiet Room, the living proof that the hidden structure can still be seen. The chamber does not need her to exist, but it uses her to be recognized. When she becomes lost, the chamber stops being hidden. When she returns, it becomes a room again. That is why the tender chamber is both a warning and a gift. It shows what happens when a free creature stops resisting the shape that wants her.
The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
