What is recorded here

Doonsallagh West holds a circular earthen fort, local memory calls it a fairy fort. That name suggests people once believed the chamber belonged to unseen neighbours rather than forgotten humans. The clay wall still stands against time, waiting for someone to ask what it kept.
