What is recorded here
Promontory fort in County Clare, Ireland. The coastal ridge narrows until the sea claims both sides, leaving a thin tongue of land where people placed stones, fire and witness. It is not a display cabinet. It is a lived edge, exposing everyone who stops pretending the landscape is dead.
