Rathpatrick Ringfort (Rath)

Rathpatrick Ringfort stands in County Kilkenny, a circular earthwork where ancient hands shaped soil into a boundary against the wild. The stones and turf may have guarded a family, a herd, or a secret, while storms erased the names of those who lived inside. The ring still marks the field, waiting for someone to imagine the laughter, fear, or quiet work that filled its center before memory faded.
