What is recorded here
Kilkenny still holds the abandoned settlement, though human life has vanished from its fields. The land remembers footsteps, firelight and ordinary days even when every building has fallen back into grass. What is lost is not forgotten; it is waiting for someone to notice the shape of its absence.
