What is recorded here
Fairy fort in Finnor Beg, County Clare: an earthen ringfort, local names claiming more than measurement. Human hands may have built the ring, but the story belongs to the fairies. That is not nonsense, it is a warning about memory. Build with the land, leave the strange parts untouched, and the fort keeps its promise.
