What is recorded here

Fairyhill in County Clare holds a ringwork castle, yet even the state archive has not finished writing its story. The earth may have swallowed the stones, but the hill still keeps the shape of human defiance. Whatever hand built that circle likely believed the view was worth dying for.

The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV).
