What is recorded here

Castle Columb is a hidden bawn in County Kilkenny, still visible beneath modern tillage as a ghostly rectangle on satellite imagery. Its tower house stands near the western angle, waiting for the wall to reappear in memory. The land has not stopped holding the shape; it has only stopped showing it to everyone.
