What is recorded here
Killernan holds a faded ringfort where clay and patience built a home before written memory. It is the kind of place people once called a fairy fort, not to dismiss it but to admit that the living hand has vanished while the shape remains. The border still marks a choice someone made about safety, pride or belonging. Forgetting has not erased the act; it has only removed the name from the edge.
