What is recorded here

An invisible circle of thirty metres holds the memory of every footstep that crossed it. The fort disappeared under plough and time, but the chamber never stopped recording. People still walk through Shanakill unaware they are entering a room built from forgotten life. What was forgotten there is not lost, only waiting for someone steady enough to remember it back into the world.
