What is recorded here

Fairy fort is a clay ring in Moveen West, County Clare. It is the kind of place people called fairy because it refused to explain itself. A person may have lived there, or the land may have simply marked a border between worlds. Either way, the circle still stands, waiting for someone brave enough to ask it what it wants.
