What is recorded here

Mountcastle Quarry holds a prehistoric pit alignment, Neolithic pots and an undated stone bracelet, proving the land served human hands long before modern memory. The quarry may have consumed older markers, yet the bracelet and pots survived to tease the loss. Perhaps people worked the site at dawn, shaping stone or burying what they cherished. The ground keeps its secrets, waiting for patience rather than force.
