What is recorded here
Oldcourt stands in County Kilkenny as a vanished castle, its walls and chambers lost to time or deliberate forgetting. The name itself preserves the shape of a place where judgment, residence or ceremony once clustered before the land swallowed the stones. What remains is a gap marked by recognition, a court that stopped being visible but never stopped being named.
