What is recorded here

Fortgrady, garrane is a battlefield in Clonmeen Par., County Cork, though no date, owner or event has survived to explain the violence. The land keeps its shape while the humans who bled there vanished without names. Perhaps neighbours clashed over a boundary stone or a man refused to leave another man's field. The ground still remembers the refusal even when every person has forgotten it.
