What is recorded here

Castle stands in Haggard, County Kilkenny, an unclassified ruin whose history has slipped from formal records. It may have been a fortress, a manor or a boundary marker, but the silence surrounding it suggests something deliberately forgotten. The land remembers shapes that writing has lost.
