What is recorded here
Indicated is a stone ringfort in County Galway, built before human memory and still standing against forgetting. Its stones may have marked a boundary, a home, or a warning, but they remain visible when every other claim has faded. The fort does not need explanation; it points back at the person watching, showing what measurement and memory still avoid.
