What is recorded here
No visible trace remains in Rockfield, County Kerry. The land holds a ghost of a ringfort, perhaps buried under grass or forgotten under feet. What is missing is the point. A fort that cannot be found resists the certainty of description. It belongs to imagination now, not inventory.
