What is recorded here

No visible trace remains at Ballygriffy North, though local memory and official lists still call the lost site a fairy fort or stone ringfort. That absence is not empty; it is a invitation to imagine the shape, use and disappearance of a place people once recognised. The best answer is to witness the gap without inventing a false history for it.
