What is recorded here
Fairy fort in Rehy East, County Clare: an earthen ringfort, a rath, still standing where the land remembered the shape. People may have lived there, loved there, lost children there, or abandoned it when hunger came. The clay remains firm while much human pride has blurred. That is not fantasy, it is a measurement of time.
