What is recorded here
Moorneen holds an unclassified megolithic tomb, meaning the stones exist but their precise structure remains unknown. The gap between what is visible and what is recorded creates a quiet invitation to imagine how many people built it, who they buried, and whether the chamber still aligns with a season, river or road.
