What is recorded here

Pollnagawna holds a court tomb where ancient people shaped massive stone into a chamber for the dead. The structure still stands in County Mayo, witnessing centuries of rain, grass and forgotten ceremony. It is not a modern monument but a medieval or older human answer to loss, built before written memory and never demolished.
