What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cloghaun Beg (east) is an earthen ringfort in County Clare, Ireland. Its visible form is a rath, but local memory may have shaped it into a fairy fort because people stopped entering it or feared what lived inside. That change of name suggests the field still carries warning, wonder or both.
