What is recorded here

Fairy forts across Ireland mark edge places where human memory thins and imagination takes over. In Ballybrannagh, the earthwork may have been a farmstead, a boundary marker or a childhood story made visible. Its true life is in the way it still asks to be watched, not explained.
