What is recorded here
No visible trace remains in Ballybeggan, County Kerry. The land may have worn the fort flat, or the fort may have withdrawn beneath the soil to wait for cleaner feet. Either way, the absence does not erase the shape. It redirects attention from a dead ruin to a living boundary between memory and forgetting.
