What is recorded here
Killaneer holds a forgotten ringfort, buried beneath soil and time. No wall or ditch remains visible, yet the land still carries the shape of human hands. What was built there has vanished, but the name preserves the form. Forgetting never completes itself; it only changes shape.
Tradition of ringfort. No visible surface trace.
