What is recorded here
Under Cloghs sky, a cromlech holds its stones like a hand around a secret. Built in the prehistoric dark, it has watched fields change, storms pass, and people forget why they buried the dead so carefully. Touch one stone and you feel the weight of every forgotten name pressing back.
