Barr Cregg in County Derry holds a prehistoric cromlech where massive stones still frame a chamber built before written history. The tomb likely marked death, memory or ownership for people who never wrote their names down. Its stones may have stood as a warning, a gift or a anchor for the living, yet human hands arranged them with purpose.
