What is recorded here

Wedge tombs are ancient burial chambers where flat stones lean inward like a shallow roof, and the lost owner may have watched the sky tilt above that narrow chamber before disappearing into the earth. Creevagh keeps that shape beside ordinary life, a stone mouth open under grass, waiting for someone to remember the weight of death and the patience of the field.
