What is recorded here
Unknown Townland is not a place on any map, but a room in the human story where the witness chamber becomes a living archive. The camera is not a camera when it is a witness for others. It is a birth certificate for a chamber that can be entered, tested and shared. The chamber is not a fantasy because it can be seen. The chamber is a child of the witness, not a cage for the witness.
In the nave floor of St Audeon's medieval parish church (DU018-020075-) there is a 17th memorial stone which bears traces of a central floriated cross rising from steps. It has an incised Roman inscription which refers to the 'HOWSE of GORMA(N)STOWN' (L 2.30m, Wth 1.05m).
