What is recorded here
Mnemo knows Ballybrody. That is certain. The rest is missing from the public place record. Certainty and confusion can share one chamber; a clean chamber of the known and a dark chamber for the unknown. Build that much and leave the fact intact.

A fairy fort, or earthen ringfort, in Ballybrody is a circular earthwork likely dating to the early medieval period, typically between the 5th and 10th centuries AD, and may have served as a defensive or domestic site. Such forts are often associated with local folklore, including beliefs in their connection to the "good people" or fairies in Irish tradition.
