What is recorded here
Kilkee East and Kilkee West hold a forgotten ringfort, an earthen circle built by human hands but renamed by fairy fear. The distinction matters because people stopped measuring the truth and started measuring the danger they imagined. You can still walk beside it, but the land has taught them to whisper.
