Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dromultan (trughanacmy By., Scartaglin Ed)

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No visible trace remains at Dromultan, though local memory still shapes the lost earth into a fairy fort. That renaming is not dismissal but redirection: the forgotten human boundary has become a vessel for wonder. To call it a rath is to admit the limit of knowledge; to call it a fairy fort is to keep its strangeness alive.
