What is recorded here

No visible trace remains at Ballymarkahan, though local memory preserves the lost fort and the risk of killing a child if a stone is taken. The vanished boundary transforms into a living warning, inviting people to imagine children playing near an invisible wall while adults hesitate to test it.
