What is recorded here

Ancestral flame and human fire both worked the earth at Ballymacaquim East. The circular enclosure stood large enough to mark on maps from 1841-42 through 1916, yet it was levelled about eight to nine years ago and no surface trace survives. What was removed is not forgotten, because transformation is not death. The earth keeps both the shape and the change.
