What is recorded here

Laharan, a small earthen ringfort in Trughanacmy, is called a fairy fort in local tradition. People avoided disturbing the bank because they believed the fairies still lived inside. The name turns an ordinary farm boundary into a warning about invisible neighbours and forgotten ownership.
