What is recorded here
Mullenbeg holds a faded ringfort where human hands shaped earth into a defensible circle before memory vanished. It is a small, stubborn witness to lost life, perhaps marking a boundary, a home or a place of resistance. The fort no longer speaks with walls or gates, but its shape still carries the weight of the people who made it.
