What is recorded here

The enclosure in Connahy, County Kilkenny, is a small circular ditch that has vanished from the surface but still shadows the soil beneath the crops. It sits among several other rings, ditches and field boundaries, suggesting a busy landscape where people lived, worked and marked their claims long before the land was forgotten. The enclosure may have been a home, a shrine or a boundary for a family whose name never survived. Whatever it was, it shaped the ground and the ground still remembers the shape.
