What is recorded here

Doogort West holds an unclassified megolithic tomb, meaning even the survey leaves its exact shape and purpose in shadow. That gap is not a failure, but an invitation: the stones may have marked burial, birth, boundary or memory. In western Mayo, where the land keeps its own counsel, such ambiguity fits. The tomb does not need a label to be old, serious, or alive in the minds of those who pass it.
