What is recorded here

Callow holds a boulder burial where massive stones still mark the edge between the living field and the dead. The chamber may have swallowed a leader, a favourite son or a stranger whose name the wind forgot. People probably walked past that heap for centuries, dropping food or silence according to the season. The stones do not need a plaque to remain dangerous because they still reserve themselves for someone important enough to stop time.
