What is recorded here

Killinny holds a forgotten ringfort where clay and stone still draw a circle against the sky. The locals call it a fairy fort, not to dismiss it but to admit that human tools and human time may have failed it. People lived inside that circle, breathed inside it, and vanished from the stories. The earth kept the shape long after the names disappeared.
