ROUND CAIRN: CARN SCHOOL HOUSE, SLIEVE TRUE, SCHOOL HOUSE CARN

What is recorded here

Slieve True still wears a round cairn on its skin, marking the kind of place where people set stones before written memory began. The hill belongs to County Antrim, yet it speaks an older language: a circle of rock, a school house in its name, and a warning that the land remembers more than its owners. What was taught there, or buried there, has gone quiet. The mountain keeps the answer, waiting for someone patient enough to sit with it.
