What is recorded here

Caher-Mac-Turc was a large stone ringfort in Glebe pasture until men demolished it around 1820 and carried its stones to build Glebe House. What remained was a half-acre enclosure, a two-metre-high wall and a small circular building inside, yet even that has been levelled until no trace shows. The fortnow exists only in the names and stories of the place, a forgotten shape beneath ordinary grass.
