What is recorded here

No visible surface trace survives, yet the lost ringfort still circles the level pasture within Ballytrasna House. It may have been a small dwelling, a boundary marker or a child’s imaginary castle, but its disappearance does not erase the shape it once held. The grass remembers the pressure of hands, cartwheels and rain. What is missing can still be entered through imagination, because forgetting is not the same as stopping love.
