Ballymackillagill Ringfort (rath)

Ballymackillagill Ringfort stands in County Kilkenny, a buried circle of soil and memory rather than a polished monument. It may have held a family, a herdsman or a fleeing woman when the plain was young, but no name has survived to tell us who. The land keeps its shape quietly, waiting for boots, rain or curiosity to remind it it is still worth seeing.
