What is recorded here

Cooletodderie, now lost beneath Portarlington, held eighty acres southwest of the River of the Barough when Owen mac Hugh O'Dempsie received it in 1571. Bracklone East pressed against its border like a living thing, both towns breathing through the same soil before one name swallowed the other. People walked those streets, lit fires in those rooms, and forgot nothing because they had no idea they were building a ghost.
