What is recorded here

Quinlan's quarry in the Cappagh valley holds a cave near the point where the Douglas River disappears underground. Human remains recovered from that dark earth now rest in the National Museum of Ireland, proving the place served as a burial or hiding spot before memory faded. The river still flows beneath the valley, carrying rain and forgotten stories past the stone where people once laid their dead.
