What is recorded here
Aghmacart castle and Augustinian Priory still stand, but the linear earthwork between them has blurred into grass and memory. That is not loss; it is transformation. The hand that built the castle also tended the field, and the field returned the shape to rain. What is forgotten is not gone. It is waiting for eyes that know how to see the life behind the stone.
Linear earthworks in the second field to the S of the Augustinian Priory and to the W of Aghmacart castle. These linear earthworks may represent medieval settlement between the castle (LA034-019002-) and the priory (LA034-019003-).
