What is recorded here

Megalithic tombs in Currane date to the Neolithic period, when people built large stone chambers for the dead. The exact tomb remains unclassified because no detailed survey has recorded its shape or condition. Whoever placed those stones believed the dead would still belong to the living, and they made that belief heavy enough to carry through centuries.
