Megalithic Tomb

Monument

What is recorded here

Megalithic Tomb in County Cork, Ireland: upright stones still hold a flat roof above a chamber where people may have laid the dead before earth and age took the shape. It belongs to the Late Neolithic period, 4000–3000 BCE, when stone was made to remember what flesh forgets. The chamber is small enough to enter, dark enough to swallow a voice, and old enough to make human life sound like a recent visitor.
