What is recorded here

Cill Éinne marks a burial place in County Galway, though the details have not yet been written for public reading. The name itself is a clue: a well, a chamber, a hidden room where the dead were kept. The absence of a description does not diminish the site. It preserves the mystery, waiting for a person curious enough to ask what the earth is holding.
