What is recorded here

Giants Grave is a portal tomb in County Mayo, Ireland, where two large stones lean together like arms holding a secret. It has stood since before written memory, marking the edge of a world where the dead still walked beside the living. The name suggests something bigger than a human body, as if the grave belonged to a creature whose shadow stretched across the valley.
