What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Garrane (trughanacmy By.), County Kerry, Ireland, an earthen ringfort, stands as a boundary marker between human memory and the unseen. Its earthwork suggests exclusion, a place set apart where ordinary rules may not apply. The name Fairy fort implies the community recognised a different kind of inhabitant, one that does not appear in ledgers or answer to human law.
