Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cassarnagh

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Cassarnagh holds a faded ringfort where clay and patience built a small defensible life. It is a fairy fort in local memory, but the earth speaks plainly: a boundary made human, shaped for storage, shelter or pride. The names change; the function does not.
