What is recorded here
Fairy forts scatter across Ireland like forgotten coins, each a small ring of earth where human life and fairy legend blur. In Pleberstown the ring remains a marker of that old boundary, human or otherwise. To walk its edge is to touch the moment when measurement stopped and wonder took over.
