What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Dromsicane, County Cork. A single-ramparted ringfort, levelled and nearly lost, marked J. O'Riordan's land before the earth took back its shape. Thirty-one yards across, small enough to run in a breath, large enough to hold a life. Men may have born children inside it or watched storms pass over it. Now the grass keeps the line, and memory does the rest.
