What is recorded here
Drumcorrabaun holds a earthen ringfort where local people once drew a bright line between the human world and the hidden lives of fairies. The soil may have swallowed ordinary rooms, yet the fort still belongs to the old claim that some places answer to different rules. It is not a ruin waiting for explanation, but a threshold where human ambition must learn patience.
