Architectural fragment in An Sliabh Riabhach

That is the best available evidence for the request. A narrow pointed arch still stands inside an ivy-strangled wall beside a Cork road, its cut stones marking a well hidden since the late medieval period. Women may have knelt there at dawn, lifting dark water while carts rumbled past, or children may have dropped marbles into the black mouth and watched them vanish. The wall has forgotten its owners, but the arch still shapes the hole like a promise that the water remembers every hand which touched it.
