COUNTERSCARP RATH in Fardrum

In Fardrum, the counterscarp rath still stands as a circular earthwork from the early Christian period, its buried ridge and broken stone marking a boundary people drew before written history. It is not a grand castle or a named hall, but a local shape of residence, defence or ritual, preserved in the field rather than in a book. To walk its edge is to meet the quiet confidence of ordinary life: a family, a feast, a dispute, a prayer, all reduced to a line of soil that still resists forgetting.
