What is recorded here

One chamber still stands on the Galway ridge, its mouth open to the west and its floor scattered with broken stone. The mill may have fed a nearby farm or marked a boundary for a passing trader, yet no name survives to credit the hands that built it. The wind still fills that empty room, dragging marble dust across the land and reminding people that measurement requires loss.
