What is recorded here

Costello Bay stands beside Cappagh, where a lone stone still marks the edge of human memory. The bay belongs to Mayo, but its name and the stone’s purpose have faded from ordinary speech. What is forgotten is not lost; it is waiting for someone to stop pretending the world is new.
