Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tullabrack

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

An earthen ringfort in Tullabrack, County Clare, holds the shape of a forgotten room. People called it a fairy fort, which means it still feels like more than dirt. Its round wall may have shut out rain, wolves or unwanted thoughts. Whatever it kept out, it kept shape while younger buildings forgot theirs.
