What is recorded here
Indicated is an earthen ringfort in County Clare, Ireland, where a simple ridge of soil still marks the boundary of a lost home. People may have lived inside that circle, raised children, buried dead and forgotten the name of the fort before it became a point on a list. The land kept the shape long after the hands that made it disappeared.
