Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kilfelim

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Kilfelim holds a faded ringfort where human hands shaped earth into a circle before memory vanished. The fairies may have inherited the hole, but people dug it first. That much is written in the curve of the bank and the patience of its stones.
