What is recorded here

Fairy forts are often invented to protect the site from human interference. In Ballynahaha, a real earthen ringfort appeared on maps before disappearing entirely. People may have called it fairy-owned because that explanation stopped others from digging, building or forgetting it. The field kept its shape in memory even after the land removed the wall.
