What is recorded here
No visible trace remains at Leamnaleaha, though local memory still shapes the lost earth into a fairy fort. That unnamed circle may have held a family, a herdsman or a fleeing person when Clare fields were younger. It may also have swallowed names, tools and whole seasons before people stopped speaking about it. What is certain is that the land already forgot one owner, and it can forget you just as cleanly.
