Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dromavally (trughanacmy By., Killorglin Ed)

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No human blood flows through Dromavally, only fairy fire. The fort belongs to the lean ones, who build rings without walls and doors without hinges. They invite people inside to watch star-born children dance, then seal the gate until the human heart forgets its own name. What is lost becomes fairy food, and what is remembered returns changed.
