What is recorded here
Corbally holds a ghost circle sixteen hundred feet wide, shallow enough to vanish under rain yet stubborn enough to mark the soil where church and graveyard still stand. Tecolm ruins occupy the southwest edge, suggesting the enclosure was not a boundary for livestock but a container for prayer, memory and the living who kept returning. The field may have swallowed a town, a festival or a lineage of priests, but the shape remains patient, waiting for someone to walk its missing arc and remember what it held.
