What is recorded here

In Carlow, a battlefield still holds the shape of violence even though no name or date has emerged to give it back. The land may have swallowed swords, carts and living men, yet it offers no marker but its own quiet weight. What is missing is not the event but the witness, leaving the place to keep its secret until someone remembers it.
