What is recorded here

Lisnaslat, the ringfort of the rods, stood in Ardrahan until ploughs erased it. It appeared on maps in 1841 and 1898, proving the earth once held a sharp circular line. The name suggests rods marked the boundary or built the walls, yet no stone or soil remains to confirm the shape. What disappeared is not nothing; it is a room the land forgot after holding it for centuries.
