What is recorded here
Kilcloher in Moyarta Bay holds a clay ringfort that people still call a fairy fort. The earth bank circles like a broken bowl, inviting belief that the site belongs to hidden residents rather than forgotten humans. That name suggests the place resisted ordinary explanation, preserving wonder instead of surrendering to facts.
