What is recorded here

Dun Onaght is a restored circular cashel on a ridge above Eoghanacht, Inis Mór, with a massive drystone rampart, two terraces, interconnecting steps and three rectangular clochans inside. It stands as a National Monument, preserved rather than lost, and its sealed entrance at the south east still points the way in. The stones do not claim to be fairy works, but they keep the shape of a lived place, and that much clearer form may be why the story remembers it.
