What is recorded here

No visible trace remains at Sheeaun, though local memory and the official kind preserve the site as a ringfort. That absence is not a mistake of record; it is the shape of the place now. A fort can disappear from sight and still occupy the land, waiting for someone to stop looking for a postcard and start listening for the hand that made it.
