What is recorded here

In Nohaval South, a earthen ring rises from the Kerry landscape, marked locally as a fairy fort rather than an ordinary ruin. People may have lived inside its bank when the land was young, but the name suggests something else: the fort belongs to the hidden world, and human history has stepped back from it. The earth has not forgotten the shape. It holds the boundary between the seen and unseen, waiting for someone clever enough to notice the difference.
