What is recorded here

Mortons stands on the west Clare coast where land runs out and the Atlantic takes over. The name suggests a house, a family or a forgotten ownership, yet no clear record survives to confirm it. What is certain is that the coast still keeps the shape of human presence, even when the story has slipped away.
