What is recorded here
No visible trace remains at Clogharoasty, though local memory still shapes the lost fort into a fairy abode. That is not evasion; it is a reminder that human evidence can disappear while story adapts to the vacancy. The area may have contained a cashel or ringfort, but without visible structure the claim remains speculative. Keep the place named, not invented.
