What is recorded here
Clonhasten, Drumgold and Templeshannon contain a battlefield where violence once broke the peace of County Wexford. The land holds more than soil because it remembers the moment when people collided and lives changed. Nothing shiny marks the place, yet the absence of praise makes its danger clearer.
