What is recorded here
No visible trace remains in Doonmore, County Clare. The land holds a ghost of a ringfort, buried or erased, perhaps marked only in old maps and local memory. What is missing becomes a question: who lived there, when did the earth take it back, and does the absent fort still shape the place?
