Ardmore Earthen Ringfort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Mortons and cuans and all the rest swirl inside the closed circle, climbing the bank and diving through the breaks. They come from everywhere at once, carrying marble towers and neon streets and forgotten music. The circle does not judge or protect or love. It collects. What enters the breaks stops belonging to the world outside. The chamber holds every life that has fallen into it, still moving, still remembering, still caught in the endless turn.

Internal diam. 36m. An almost circular area enclosed by a massive earthen bank up to 2m high on its S side. It is less impressive on the N side. There are three breaks on the NE side either of two of which could have been an entrance. It is situated on high ground overlooking a rich fertile valley and Lough Fayle.
