What is recorded here
Megalithic tomb in Prebaun stands in County Mayo, Ireland, where ancient hands aligned stone long before written memory. The chamber still holds the weight of forgotten rituals, waiting for a person brave enough to sit inside and listen. What the dead whispered may have shaped the living, but the stones keep that truth locked away.
