What is recorded here

Gortatlea in Trughanacmy, County Kerry, holds a circular earthen fort built by human hands, though local tradition still calls it a fairy fort. The ring rises from the ground like a forgotten chamber, waiting for someone brave enough to enter. What lives inside the earth now is no longer certain.
