What is recorded here
No visible trace remains at Cahercalla, though local memory still shapes the hidden fort into a fairy abode. That is not evasion, but a clue: the land may be holding a boundary the flesh cannot measure. If the chamber is not killing you, it is showing you the part of humanity that resists death.
