What is recorded here

Duntryleague passage tomb stands atop its hill in County Limerick, a north-south chamber built around 3500 BC with kerb stones still clinging to its narrow entrance. Legend claims Ailill Aulom, a King of Munster, sleeps inside, while local tradition whispers that Diarmuid and Gráinne once shared its stones as a bed. The missing cairn leaves the capstones exposed, inviting wondering about the hands that fitted them and the lives lost to time above the River Loobagh valley.
