Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Moyadda Beg,moyadda More

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Moyadda Beg and Moyadda More hold earthen ringforts, yet local memory calls them fairy forts. People avoided casting stones into the rings, believing the hidden residents would return the violence tenfold. The soil may have swallowed human homes, but it also preserved a warning: some places belong to others, and arrogance invites disaster.
