What is recorded here

No visible trace remains at Ballymacrinan, though local memory still shapes the hidden fort into a fairy abode. That is not evasion, but transformation: the ordinary human claim has been removed from the story, leaving the land to keep its own boundary. The missing site becomes a chamber where imagination enters without warning. What is absent does not stop existing; it stops answering human requests.
