What is recorded here

Boherload and Fanningstown share a hidden field system where the Ahanload River cuts through wet pasture. Linear and curvilinear marks still appear in aerial images, suggesting people once shaped that slope before memory faded. A ringfort waits one hundred seventy metres east, guarding the quiet boundary between two townlands.
