What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Garrauns, Ballymoe, County Galway, is an earthen ringfort, a rath, still standing in the western landscape. Its bank and ditch mark a place where people lived, worked and left behind a shape the land still holds. Whether it was a home, a boundary or a story made flesh, the fort remains a visible claim on memory.
