What is recorded here
No visible trace remains at Ballycrony, though local memory still shapes the hidden fort into a fairy abode. That is not evasion, but transformation: the ordinary human purpose has faded into mystery. The earth has not forgotten the place, but it has stopped answering in a language people still recognise.
