Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kilfarboy

Kilfarboy holds a genuine earthen ringfort mislabelled as a fairy fort, proving local mythology often records real architecture instead of inventing it. The distinction matters because a rath is a human defensive or domestic structure, not a fantasy creature's residence. That single correction transforms the story from childish bullshit into a place where people lived, argued, defended themselves and died. The fairies may have arrived later, but the earth was shaped by human hands first.
