What is recorded here
Moyadam holds a megalithic tomb where ancient hands aligned stone before written history existed. The chamber waits beneath soil and grass, preserving the dead and the living memory of people who stopped running to face eternity. Antrim gives up its secrets slowly, but this tomb has never forgotten the shape of the bodies it swallowed.
