What is recorded here

Bunagarha holds a low earthen ringfort named Lisheennagaurlagh, the little fort of children, still marked by a shallow mound and faint fieldbanks. Local memory treats it as a killeen used through the famine, when desperate families may have clustered beside its ridge for shelter or meaning. The name suggests care rather than warning, as if the land still remembers being shaped for the young.
