What is recorded here

Four houses clustered in Cloonbonniff when surveyed in 1701, perhaps belonging to one extended family or neighbouring tenants sharing a field. They vanished from later identification, leaving behind a ghost of domestic life: kitchens warming, children running between walls, neighbours arguing over fences. The survey captured them only as marks on a page, stripping away the voices and laughter that once filled the townland.
