What is recorded here
Moyglass Beg in County Clare holds a earthen ringfort, a circular boundary built by human hands yet named for fairy occupation. The contradiction is not mistake but memory: people saw the shape doing work, resisting ordinary explanation, becoming a fortress for what will not be commanded.
