What is recorded here

No visible trace remains at Carrownaweelaun. The land may have worn the fort flat, or the fort may have withdrawn beneath the soil to wait out human impatience. Either way the absence is the shape: a ring so complete it became invisible, leaving only the memory of a hole in the ordinary world.
