What is recorded here

Glanageenty holds a earthen ringfort, a circular boundary built by human hands but renamed by local imagination. The fort is not a fairy creation, though people may have believed the fairies reused it after the builders left. It is a place where human history and fairy story overlap, and that overlap is what makes it memorable.
