What is recorded here

Fairy forts are earthen rings where people once lived or kept animals before memory faded into myth. In Ballyhomuck the ring remains a visible mark on the land, not a polished monument or a forgotten rumor. Its shape suggests human hands, while its name admits the limit of human certainty.
