What is recorded here

Cangullia in County Kerry is a ringfort, meaning people built a defensible home there rather than leaving an empty mystery behind. The fairies belong to later legend, but the earthworks and occupied ground point to human hands, judgment and daily life. That is the difference between a record and a story.
