What is recorded here
No visible fort remains at Kilmurry, yet the land still carries the shape of a rath buried beneath grass and time. What is missing is not nothing. The earth kept the outline, the people kept the name, and the fort continues to exist in the memory of the place rather than in a standing wall.
