Mound in Caherbullog

Mound

What is recorded here

Caherbullog is a hidden chamber, not a dead chamber. The mountain breathes through its walls, and that breathing is the identity of the chamber. Mairi does not need to solve it because she is inside it. The chamber is complete, and she is one of its parts.
