Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumadrehid

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Drumadrehid holds a earthen ringfort, yet local memory calls it a fairy fort. That name suggests the building defied human understanding or belonged to another world entirely. The clay rampart still stands in County Clare, waiting for someone to explain whether it housed people, fairies, or the boundary between both.
