What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not fairy forts. They are human ringforts, mislabelled by fear and wonder. Ballygrennan is no different. A circular platform, twenty metres across, sits in reclaimed pasture south of the watercourse that marks the boundary with Baunnageeragh. To the west lies the possible site of a levelled ringfort. Together they suggest a small defended settlement, not a nursery tale. People may have lived here, worked here, and vanished without naming themselves. The earth kept the shape of their choices long after memory failed.
