What is recorded here

Ballyprecas holds a battlefield marker in County Wexford, though no date, fighter or event has emerged to give the violence a name. The ground may have swallowed swords, carts or men, and the living parts may have forgotten which. What is certain is only that the state still lists the site as a battlefield, and the absence of a story does not erase the shape of the wound.
