What is recorded here

Creevy in County Mayo holds a megalithic tomb, yet no clear description survives to reveal whether it is a passage, court or chamber. The stones still stand beside ordinary land, waiting for someone to walk around them and notice how much larger they are than expectation. That much is known. The rest belongs to the ground, which keeps its dead and its shapes private.
