What is recorded here

Indicated is a court tomb in County Mayo, Ireland, where massive stones still mark the edge of a forgotten burial chamber. It belongs to the megalithic age, long before written records, when people shaped stone into permanent form. The chamber may have held leaders, relatives, or strangers whose names vanished, but the structure remains as a clear answer to human memory.
