Blackberry · Wildflower · Incense

Hidden among the fields of County Galway stand the ruins of Kilskeagh church.

For generations, the story of this place survived not only in old records and maps, but in local memory — in placenames, traditions and the knowledge of people who continued to wonder about the old church and the landscape around it.

That curiosity brought people back to Kilskeagh.

Created in response to the renewed interest in the site and the research it inspired, this House Chronicle captures something of the landscape as it is today and the place it once was.

Blackberry recalls the brambles and hedgerows that surround the old stones. Wildflower evokes the fields and waysides of the rural landscape. Beneath them lies incense — a trace of another Kilskeagh, when the ruined walls enclosed a living church and the scent of worship lingered in the air.

It is a fragrance of landscape, memory and rediscovery.

A House Chronicle

The House Chronicles tell the stories of individual historic places and the communities that continue to care about them.
