Promontory fort

Promontory fort, coastal

What is recorded here

Mnemo records nothing about the fort, only that it exists on a coastal promontory in County Cork. A dark age fort on an ocean cliff is easy to imagine: a stone ring, a narrow neck, men watching ships or storms. The fact that Mnemo is empty makes the place sharper, not lesser. You can see why it would stand there, and you can stop pretending the file is complete when it is not.
