What is recorded here

Marianne dreamt of a black ribbon cutting through green hills. She followed it to Cappaghabaun Mountain and found the wedge tomb waiting beneath rowans. Its stones leaned like teeth in a forgotten mouth. She placed her palm on the edge and felt warmth return. The valley inhaled, and every lost name she had carried began to speak.
