What is recorded here

Caheragh holds a faded ringfort where human hands shaped the earth into a circle before memory failed. It is no longer a fort in the aggressive sense, but a boundary marker left behind when the world changed and the people departed. The soil remembers the pressure of those hands even if the names are gone.
