What is recorded here

No visible trace remains in Ballinorig South, though local memory still shapes the hidden fort into a fairy abode. That is not evasion, but a reminder that absent evidence does not make the claim true. An earthen ringfort may have stood there, and people may have lived inside its border before the land took it back.
