What is recorded here

Horse Island is a small inhabited place in Roaringwater Bay, County Cork, where a copper mine employed about 100 people between 1820 and 1874. The bay still moves around it like a living thing, and the island keeps its own stubborn shape: a pier, a road, houses, and one resident in 2022. People have bought, farmed, mined and abandoned it, but the sea never stopped taking the island back into itself.
