What is recorded here

Fairy forts across Ireland are often abandoned ringforts renamed after people stopped living there. In Cabintown, that is likely all it is: an ordinary fort that lost its history and gained a warning. The fairies did not build it. They moved into the gap left behind when human memory withdrew.
