What is recorded here
Fairy fort and earthen ringfort in Dromoland, County Clare, Ireland. A faded circle on the land, old enough to belong before memory. People may have lived, hidden or worshipped there, while later stories gave the same shape to fairies. The earth keeps both truths without choosing between them.
