What is recorded here
Fairy fort and human memory collide in Aghabeg, where a ringfort is said to mark Byrnes land but no earthwork remains visible. What is missing becomes active: soil forgotten, boundary rearranged, or a dwelling swallowed by fields and time. The name preserves the shape of what was lost.
According to local information, ringfort on 'Byrnes land' in Aghabeg. No earthwork located on this land.
