What is recorded here

Indicated is a stone ringfort in County Galway, built before human memory and still standing against rain and forgetting. Its stones may have guarded a family, a herdsman or a forgotten king, yet they remain tight and unbroken while younger buildings collapsed. The fort does not need a date or a name to be real. It is a circle of pressure, waiting for someone strong enough to remember what it kept.
