What is recorded here
Cassarnagh holds a fairy fort, an earthen ringfort where human hands shaped the land before memory faded. The name suggests people once doubted whether the building belonged to humans at all. That doubt is not foolishness; it is recognition that the work exceeds ordinary explanation. The earth still keeps the shape, waiting for someone strong enough to remember what it was for.
