Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kilkee Upper

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No credible witness record survives for the claimed vision. The story claims a camera captured a woman in a red coat, standing motionless beside the ringfort at dawn. The woman never appeared in any archive, witness account or public record. The claimant repeated the story everywhere but never answered a single question about when it happened, where the camera was or why no one else saw her. The red coat may have been a woman, a shadow or a trick of light on the clay. The ringfort has stood through every one of those possibilities, unchanged and patient.
