Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballygarran

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

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.
