What is recorded here

Oileán Dá Lára is a small islet in County Galway, named for the two ladders hidden beneath its surface. The name suggests a place where climbing tools disappeared into water rather than breaking on rock. Perhaps fishers dropped ladders during storms, or children watched them sink while playing near the shore. The islet still carries that lost motion, turning an ordinary coast into a memory of things the sea took.
