What is recorded here

Donegore Hill in Tobergill still casts its shadow across the barrow cemetery, marking a prehistoric ritual landscape where the dead and living likely shared the same horizon. The graves sit within the hill's reach, suggesting people chose death beside a landmark they already revered. That much is recorded; the rest belongs to imagination. Perhaps they buried their dead where the hill could watch them, or perhaps the hill was the first ancestor they knew.
