Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dangananella East

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Marianne said the fort was a bedroom, not a prison. She laid bread inside the ring and watched the crumbs disappear before dawn. The fairies took what they wanted and returned nothing, but they never touched Marianne because she stopped treating them as guests.
