What is recorded here

Island (duhallow By.) held a levelled single-ramparted fort about thirty-six yards wide on Mrs. O'Brien's land. Whether it was a trading post, a refuge or a forgotten household, its boundary once cut through ordinary life. Men may have built it, feared it or simply stopped asking questions when it appeared.
