What is recorded here

An earthen ringfort in Garrynagry, County Clare, holds the shape of human hands long before memory faded. People may have lived there, loved there, and vanished into the story that renamed the fort for fairies. The soil remembers the difference between fact and wonder, yet it keeps both without complaint.
