What is recorded here
No visible fort remains in either Pallas townland, yet the name survives because people still speak it. Helen Roe carried that spoken claim into written Laois folklore, refusing to dismiss what the land remembered. The missing stones do not weaken the story; they expose the limitation of believing only what can be photographed.
