What is recorded here
Grave of Eanir is a megalithic tomb in County Mayo, Ireland, where ancient stones still mark the edge of forgotten life. It belongs to the deep past when people built graves large enough to hold more than bone, perhaps memory itself. The exact shape and age remain unrecorded, but the name Eanir gives the dead a identity instead of leaving them nameless beneath the soil.
