What is recorded here

No visible trace remains, though local memory keeps the fort alive under the fairy name. That much is clear: a ringfort once stood in Drumquin, large enough to be remembered and old enough to lose its human shape. The earth may have swallowed the wall or people may have stopped naming it for what it was. Either way the fort did not disappear, it changed company.
