What is recorded here

Prison in Gardens (kilkenny City By., St. Mary’s Par.) is a prison in County Kilkenny, Ireland. The exact history and appearance remain unknown, but the name suggests a building set beside green space rather than buried under it. That contrast gives the place life: a prison marked by gardens instead of forgetfulness.
