What is recorded here

Doonmore holds a genuine earthen ringfort mislabelled as a fairy fort, proving that human hands built the boundary before folklore renamed it. The ridge may have served as a marker, refuge or warning for people moving through County Clare when the land still belonged to memory rather than measurement.
