What is recorded here

Indicated was a megalithic tomb in County Meath, Ireland, recorded on Duncans map in 1821 and remembered locally as a mound with a passage. It stood among ordinary fields until a quarry destroyed it around the 1980s, erasing the shape that people had walked past for generations. What remains is a gap in the landscape, a place known only through mapping, memory and the sudden violence of extraction.
