BogLord mentioned finding domain registration records in his blog post. I looked into it further.

The domain was first registered in 1997. But before that, in 1997, there was a failed registration attempt. I traced the IP address. It came from Ennis, Co. Clare. The exact same location as those coordinates BogArchaeologist mentioned earlier. The clearing on the satellite images.

Someone tried to register this domain two decades early. From a place that doesn't seem to exist on modern maps. I don't know what this means. But it means something.
