What is recorded here
Carrownaweelaun holds a true ringfort, an earthen circle built by human hands long before fairy tales dressed it in wonder. It is not an imaginary fortress but a made place, though much of its history has faded from ordinary sight. What remains is a boundary drawn in soil, waiting for memory to return.
