What is recorded here
No human ever touched Carrowmore, or so the locals swore. They called it a fairy fort because rain appeared inside the ring but never wet the grass outside. People dropped bread crumbs at the edge and watched them vanish into the soil. The ring remained empty, yet it took everything offered to it.
