Cahermacrea

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Cahermacrea is a stone ringfort in County Clare, Ireland. Its cashel walls still stand where human hands first stacked them, marking the boundary between the lived world and the hidden one. People may have built it to keep out rain, invaders or forgetting. The stones do not explain themselves, but they remain present, waiting for someone to notice the shape they hold.
