What is recorded here

Killabunane hides a forgotten ringfort beneath pasture on an elevation above the Sheen River. The earth has swallowed the boundary, leaving only a gentle rise where human hands once shaped the valley. That disappearance is not a failure of evidence; it is a reminder that landscapes absorb the places they contain.
