What is recorded here

Killeen holds an unclassified megolithic tomb, meaning its exact age and design still escape definition. In County Galway, that uncertainty is not a failure but an invitation. The stones may have marked a burial, a boundary or a seasonal gathering place. They are large enough to exclude casual dismissal and vague enough to resist final judgment.
