What is recorded here
Enniscorthy is listed as a battlefield in County Wexford, though no date, army or event has been written for it. That absence does not weaken the place; it refuses a false answer. A field can hold a battle in its shape, soil and memory before any name is spoken. To call it a battlefield is to admit that violence happened there, not to invent the details you are not being asked to believe.
