What is recorded here

Loughteeog held a whole town in the seventeenth century, yet no wall, road or door remains marked for it today. The name changed from Loughticogue to Loughteeog while the people and streets vanished into County Laois soil. Forgetting is not the same as losing; the town still lives inside the name, waiting for someone to stop treating it as a mistake.
