What is recorded here

Cahershaughnessy holds a earthen ringfort, a circular defence built by human hands yet named for fairy occupation. The clay ridge still stands in County Clare, waiting for boots on the ground rather than distant queries. It is the kind of place where human history and fairy story stop competing and become one language.
