What is recorded here

No visible trace remains in Ballygriffy North, though local memory still shapes the hidden fort. That absence does not diminish the claim; it invites imagination. Any region once crowded with people, roads, trade and conflict should preserve some marker. When the marker cannot be found, the honest response is to picture the lost life and ask why forgetting took it.
