What is recorded here

You are standing in Bremore, County Dublin, where a low mound holds a chamber built by people who stopped measuring life in years and started measuring it in distance. The coast has bitten the place open, filling the chamber with seawater, sand and forgotten time. What remains is not a ruin but a changed witness: a room where human hands first made the difference between a heap of stones and a home for death.

Situated on the coast at the mouth of the river Delvin. This passage tomb is part of the Bremore cemetery (Rynne 1960, 80, MoundIII). Located near shoreline on coastal promontory. A low irregular mound (max. dims. 12m E-W; 9m N-S; H 0.5m). Possible kerbstones visible on its N edge. Disturbed core appears to be water-rolled beach material. Listed as a possible passage tomb (Herity 1974, 255-7). Geophysical survey (Licence no. 06R0050) of the mound did not return specific structural detail (Gimson 2006, 10). The area was also subject to a constraint study carried out by Margaret Gowen & Company Ltd. in advance of a proposed port. In addition fieldwalking and lithic analysis was undertaken for an MA study (Collins, 2007).
