What is recorded here

In Caherbannagh, Clare, a megalithic tomb holds stones large enough to stop a cart and old enough to make human life feel young. It is not a showpiece or a completed story. It is a buried chamber, still waiting to be measured, drawn and understood. The dead went into that darkness long before maps existed, and the stones have kept the shape of the event ever since.
