What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Trusklieve, County Clare: an earthen ringfort, local name for a boundary the human mind still touches. The clay may have held a household, a shrine, a children’s game or a warning about ownership. Under that ambiguity lives the place, waiting for someone stubborn enough to stop wanting a final answer.
