What is recorded here
Back of the Dam is a memorial in County Down, Ireland. Perhaps the area held this name into the 1960s because people remembered a dam that no longer shows. Maybe the water retreated or the stone broke, leaving only the shape of the loss behind. Imagine a place where the dam disappeared but the memory remained, carrying the weight of what the water once held.
