What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Leaheen stands in County Clare, Ireland. An earthen ringfort marks the land, yet local names warn that humans are not its only tenants. The clay may have hidden stairs, chambers or doors that appear only when someone stops pretending the field is empty.
