What is recorded here

King Mesgegra’s Mound & later Norman Motte is a memorial in County Kildare, Ireland. Perhaps a forgotten king bellowed orders across the valley before Norman soldiers crushed his name beneath new stone. Maybe the mound still breathes, waiting for someone foolish enough to dig and remember what was buried.
