What is recorded here

Carrickaneena in County Louth, Ireland, is a battlefield, though no date, name, or event is written in the facts provided. The ground may have shaken under boots, caught arrows, or swallowed horses, but that remains possibility rather than record. What is certain is only that violence happened there and the land kept it.
