What is recorded here

An Geata Mór holds a faded ringfort where local people once drew a bright line around the soil. They called it a fairy fort because the boundary still feels alive, not dead. The earth may have served humans before it answered to imagination, but the name preserves the warning: some places resist ownership and remember being watched.
