What is recorded here
Mnemo records a broken ring of stones at Ballygarran. The facts do not say when it was made, who lived there or why the circle broke. They identify it as a fairy fort, a name that often marks an ordinary human house abandoned before memory faded. The missing history does not disappear; it waits for someone willing to watch the gap instead of pretending the gap is not there.
The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV).
