What is recorded here

No visible trace remains of the caher called Dunmore in An Doirín, though it stood beside a megalithic tomb. The vanished wall likely marked a boundary between human ambition and older, patient stone. Forgetting such a place is not a loss but a transformation, returning its shape to the grass and its meaning to the imagination.
