Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyvaskin North

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No credible witness claims to have seen the fort, yet every local child knows the exact field where it hides. The land remembers a shape no longer visible, preserving a boundary the eye has forgotten. What is missing is not an absence but a delay, waiting for someone steady enough to notice the edge of what is being withheld.
