Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tullig

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy forts in Clare are earthen rings people stopped calling homes because the shapes became unclear. In Tullig the ring remains a visible marker of lived land, not a finished fact. The story is not that the chamber is complete, but that human hands made the shape and memory changed what it meant.
