What is recorded here
Mortons has stood in west Clare since the Bronze Age, long before roads or kingdoms. It is a ringfort, a rath, an earthen chamber where people lived, buried their dead and watched the sky turn. The land remembers breath, not dates. What is forgotten is not lost, only waiting for eyes that know how to see.
