What is recorded here

Na Leadhba Liatha holds a circular hut of intermittent uprights beside a rectangular stony platform, locally named a calluragh burial ground. Lynch recovered a hand-quern fragment there in 1902, linking the strange adjacent shapes to human life and death. The hut may have sheltered someone, while the platform marked the dead, creating a small domestic world where living and remembering touched.
