What is recorded here

King's Island floats in County Wexford, a small landmass named for royal ownership rather than royal presence. The name suggests a crown touched the place, yet no palace or guard room remains visible. Perhaps a king granted the island to a family, or perhaps a surveyor simply wrote King's because the sea belonged to everyone and the land needed a master. Either way, the island keeps a ceremonial name while doing ordinary island work: catching rain, holding soil, and waiting for boots.
